Davis Cup Tennis

Davis Cup

The Davis Cup in tennis is the most prestigious, popular international tennis event for men in recent history. Though over one hundred countries are members and participants in the Davis Cup, only 16 countries qualify for the "elite" level of competition. The remaining countries battle it out on the court on many different levels of play. So what qualifies a team as formally, the "elite World Group" for the Davis Cup tennis competition"
The first rule the countries must pass is that eight of the nations, so one-half of the total group, are comprised of first round tie winners from the year before in the World Group division. Secondly and parallel to this rule, the eight losers of these ties are entered into a 16-team tournament. Winners from other divisions are also placed into this brawl. So whomever wins from this competition is placed into the world group for next year.
Next, if teams make it this far, then they are seeded, by way of the Davis Cup Committee. The factors that they consider are the nations' respective ranking in addition to how they play on different surfaces. Their past doubles performances are also evaluated. So this part of the process is someone subjective, as nations' deficits and excesses are weighed against each other.
