1959 Davis Cup Europe Zone

Last updated

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1959 Davis Cup.

Contents

The seeding system for the Europe Zone was modified so that only the previous year's semifinalists were guaranteed first round byes, allowing more countries to compete. 27 teams entered the Europe Zone, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the America Zone and Eastern Zone. [1]

Italy defeated Spain in the final and progressed to the Inter-Zonal Zone. [1] [2]
