National Representation

Davis Cup

In March 2021, Uchida made his debut in the Davis Cup where he represented team Japan on grass courts against team Pakistan. He won the only match that he played, in singles, against Aisam Qureshi in straight sets 6–4, 7–6(7–4). He was meant to play an additional singles match but it became a dead rubber as the match's result wouldn't have changed the outcome of the tie.
