Most Davis Cup doubles matches won

Leander Paes (India) won 45 of the 58 doubles matches he played in Davis Cup competition between 1990 and 2020. The veteran right-hander tied Nicola Pietrangeli (playing for Italy in 1954–72) on 42 doubles victories when he teamed up with Rohan Bopanna to defeat a South Korean pairing in an Asia/Oceania Group I tie on 16 July 2016, and he went on to win three more Davis Cup rubbers for India before retirement. Paes’ record-extending 45th win came in a qualifier against Croatia on 7 March 2020, again with Bopanna.

The Indian player’s Davis Cup highlights include a sequence of 24 successive wins with Mahesh Bhupathi in 1997–2010 – 10 matches more than Peter Fleming and John McEnroe’s next-best tally of 14 straight wins. In 58 ties, Paes won 48 of the 70 singles rubbers he played for India, bringing his total number of Davis Cup wins (singles and doubles combined) to 93, with 35 defeats. Paes (b. 17 June 1973) was 46 years 264 days old when he played his final Davis Cup match against Croatia on 7 March 2020.
