Betfair punters see the USA as the favourites to win the Davis Cup following their impressive 4-1 success over Spain in this weekend's quarter-finals.
Andy Roddick and James Blake were in fine form against a Spanish side without Rafael Nadal and will be in confident mood going into their semi-final encounter with Sweden.
The Swedes made the last four with a 4-1 victory over Argentina and Jonas Bjorkman will be a key figure in his country's plans.
Elsewhere, former world number one Marat Safin was the hero for Russia as they defeated France 3-2 in Moscow.
The Russian line-up looks strong with Nikolay Davydenko and Mikhail Youzhny both ranked in the top 20 players in the world.
They will face Germany in the semi-finals after they beat Belgium 3-2 in Ostend over the weekend.
The US are the currently trading at 1.86 to lift the Davis Cup in 2007, with Russia the 3.5 second favourites. Sweden and Germany are both available at 7.2.
