1936 International Lawn Tennis Challenge America Zone

Last updated

The America Zone was one of the two regional zones of the 1936 International Lawn Tennis Challenge.

Contents

Due to the low number of competing South American teams, the North & Central America and South America Zones were scrapped and the Americas played in one unified zone. 4 teams entered the Americas Zone, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Final against the winner of the Europe Zone. [1] Australia defeated United States in the final, and went on to face Germany in the Inter-Zonal Final. [2]

The 1923 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the 18th edition of what is now known as the Davis Cup. For the first time, the competition was split into two zones: the America Zone and the Europe Zone. This change was necessitated by having more than 16 teams compete for the cup. The past several years had also seen a rise in the number of defaults, as teams from around the globe tried to work out the logistics of playing such an international tournament. Regional zones would help alleviate these problems.

The 1959 Davis Cup was the 48th edition of the Davis Cup, the most important tournament between national teams in men's tennis. 27 teams entered the Europe Zone, 8 teams entered the Eastern Zone, and 7 teams entered the America Zone. The Europe Zone was modified so that only the previous year's semifinalists were guaranteed first round byes, allowing more countries to compete. Colombia made its first appearance in the tournament.

The 1964 Davis Cup was the 53rd edition of the Davis Cup, the most important tournament between national teams in men's tennis. 32 teams entered the Europe Zone, 10 teams entered the Eastern Zone, and 7 teams entered the America Zone. Bulgaria and South Vietnam made their first appearances in the tournament.

In this year's tournament the Challenge Round was abolished, resulting in the previous year's champion now playing in all matches rather than receiving a bye to the final.

This year's tournament saw all teams in the Americas Zone competing in one single bracket, with the previous North & Central America and South America sub-zones, and subsequently the Americas Inter-Zonal final, being eliminated.
