1933 International Lawn Tennis Challenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1933 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the 28th edition of what is now known as the Davis Cup. 24 teams would enter the Europe Zone; while 9 would enter the Americas Zone, 4 in North America and 5 in South America. Due to the large number of entries in Europe, 1933 saw the beginning of a "Qualifying Round" system, where losing teams in the 1st, 2nd, and Quarterfinal rounds would play-off against each other for four spots in the next year's main draw.
The United States defeated Argentina in the American Zone. Great Britain defeated the Americans in the Inter-Zonal play-off, and would go on to defeat France in the Challenge Round, ending France's six-year run. The final was played at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France on 28-30 July.
