Opinion
In my opinion, I think the final will be USA and Serbia certainly .Because USA has Serena Williams and Mady Fish who are the biggest power. In the same way, Serbia has Jelena Jankovic and Novak Djokovic who are the rookie and the young star of world tennis. They will be also the next generation of tennis.

Opinion:

In my opinion, I think USA won because they had a strong team. Andy Roddick and James Blake were the heart of the team, and Bob and Mike Bryan had much power in pair team. Moreover, USA played in their country, so it made them more confident and tried to be the winner.

In the contrary, Russia was lack of Marat Safin who are the biggest one of tennis, he always makes points for team , and the heart of Davis Cup Champion 2 times before. Therefore, Russian team lost a lot of confident.
