1974 Davis Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1974 Davis Cup was the 63rd edition of the most important tournament between national teams in men's tennis. 56 teams would enter the competition, 33 in the Europe Zone, 12 in the Americas Zone, and 11 in the Eastern Zone.

South Africa defeated Colombia in the Americas Zone final, India defeated Australia in the Eastern Zone final, and Italy and the Soviet Union won the Europe Zones. In the Inter-Zonal Zone, South Africa defeated Italy and India defeated the Soviet Union. India refused to travel to South Africa for the final, in protest of the South African government's apartheid policies. South Africa was awarded the title.
