Norman Brookes beat Beals Wright in the opening match. Rodney Heath increased the lead for Australasia by beating William Larned. Australasia retained the Davis Cup through a win in the doubles, with Brookes and Alfred Dunlop being successful over Wright and McLoughlin. The fourth match was defaulted by Wright, and Larned stepped aside to give the younger McLoughlin the opportunity to play Brookes. After trailing 2 sets to 1, Brookes came back and won the match, and gave Australasia a clean 5–0 victory.http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/lifestyle/your-christchurch/6204135/Cups-Christchurch-ties Cup's Christchurch ties The Press 31 December 2011 31 December 2011 Cole Charles B10–11 Final United States vs. British Isles United States 1908 Great Britain British Isles West Side Tennis Club, New York, NY, United Stateshttps://news.google.com/newspapers?id=5OJVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=XuADAAAAIBAJ&pg=5691,2400750 Americans Lead in Tennis Play.
