"We love playing on indoor hard," the world number 13 said. "We've had some of our best results there.
"I think for Andy and myself it's a great situation. We're feeling really good and we know we're going to have a raucous crowd on our side. And I think the Bryans could play on Pluto and still be the favourites."
The U.S. have not won the Davis Cup since 1995 when Pete Sampras led the team to victory over Russia on clay in Moscow.
