See also Davis Cup sections for each year, which give the full results of all the matches played by the Swedish team from 1982 to 1988. Mats was undoubtedly the best singles player in the team, and he often played doubles as well, and had some very good wins, the best being when he and Nystrom won the  doubles rubber in both the 1985  and 1987 Davis Cup finals.
