Text 13. Tennis. History of Davis Cup
The tournament was initially titled the International Lawn Tennis Challenge although it soon became known as the Davis Cup, after Dwight Davis' trophy.
The Davis Cup competition was initially played as a challenge cup. All teams competed against one another for the right to face the previous year's champion in the
final round.
Up until 1973, the Davis Cup had only ever been won by the United States,
Great Britain/British Isles, France and Australia/Australasia. Their domination was
eventually broken in 1974 when South Africa and India made the final; however the
final was scratched and South Africa awarded the cup after India refused to travel
to South Africa in protest at South Africa's apartheid policies. The following year
saw the first actual final between two «outsider» nations, when Sweden beat
Czechs 3–2, and since then, many other countries have gone on to capture the trophy.
In 1981, the tiered system of competition in use today was created, in which
the 16 best national teams compete in the World Group and all other national teams
compete in one of four groups in one of three regional zones. In 1989,
the tiebreak was introduced into Davis Cup competition, and from 2016 it is used in
all five sets.
The 16 best national teams are assigned to the World Group and compete
annually for the Davis Cup. Nations which are not in the World Group compete in
one of three regional zones (Americas, Asia/Oceania, and Europe/Africa). The
competition is spread over four weekends during the year. Each elimination round
between competing nations is held in one of the countries, and is played as the best
of five matches (4 singles, 1 doubles). The ITF determines the host countries for all
possible matchups before each year's tournament.
The World Group is the top group and includes the world's best 16 national
teams. Teams in the World Group play a four-round elimination tournament. Teams
are seeded based on a ranking system released by the ITF, taking into account
previous years' results. The defending champion and runner-up are always the top
two seeds in the tournament. The losers of the first-round matches are sent to the
World Group playoff round, where they play along with winners from Group I of the
regional zones. The playoff round winners play in the World Group for the next
year's tournament, while the losers play in Group I of their respective regional zone.
198
Each of the three regional zones is divided into four groups. Groups I and II
play elimination rounds, with the losing teams facing relegation to the next-lower
group. The teams in Groups III and those in Group IV play a round-robin
tournament with promotion and relegation.

а) Д. Ф. Дэвис, один из лучших теннисистов Америки на рубеже XIX и XX веков
учредил кубок, за который в упорной борьбе состязаются теннисисты пятидесяти стран. В свое время Дэвис был широко известен за пределами США.
Своими главными противниками в спорте он считал братьев Доэти из Англии,
самых известных тогда мастеров ракетки. Именно с ними Дэвис мечтал
встретиться на корте. Такая встреча состоялась в 1903 году в Бостоне. Англичане одержали победу, и в первый раз кубок был увезен за океан, на родину
победителей.
