davis cup tournament

davis cup tournament is one of the leading tennis events in the category of Men. davis cup tournament s run by the International Tennis Federation and is contested by most of the countries in the world. davis cup tournament which is regarded as the largest annual international team competition in sport of tennis is somewhat similar to the Grand Slam events..davis cup tournament began in 1900 as a challenge between the United States and Great Britain. In 2005, 134 nations entered teams into the davis cup tournament competition. The United States is the most successful nation to date, winning 31 tournaments, and finishing as runners-up 29 times. Australia is the second most successful, winning 28 times and finishing second 18 times.

davis cup tournament was initially known as the International Lawn Tennis Challenge. It was renamed the Davis Cup following the death of Dwight Davis in 1945. Dwight Davis also became a prominent politician in the United States in the 1920s, serving as Secretary of War from 1925-29 and as Governor General of the Philippines from 1929-32.

Up until 1973, the davis cup tournament had only ever been won by the United States, Great Britain, France and Australia/Australasia. Their domination was broken in 1974, when South Africa and India qualified for the final. India refused to play in the final that year in protest against the South African government's apartheid policies, thus handing South Africa a walk-over victory. (As of 2006, South Africa has never actually played a single davis cup tournament finals match). The following davis cup tournament year saw the first final played between two "outsider" nations, with Sweden beating Czechoslovakia 3-2, and since then, several other countries have gone on to capture the trophy.

Countries aspire to compete in the elite World Group of 16 nations. Other nations play in regional zones (Americas, Asia/Oceania, and Europe/Africa) in one of four groups. In this davis cup tournament the competition is spread over four weekends during the year. Each tie between competing nations is held in one of the countries. The ITF determines host countries for all possible matchups before each year's tournament.
