1986 Davis Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1986 Davis Cup was the 75th edition of the most important tournament between national teams in men's tennis. The Africa Zone was added for this year, effectively as a qualifying tournament for the European Zones. 71 teams would enter the competition, 16 in the World Group, 33 in the European Zone (including 9 in the Africa Zone), 13 in the Eastern Zone, and 9 in the American Zone. Australia defeated Sweden in the final, which was held at Kooyong Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, on 26-28 December.
