France won the title, defeating the United States in the final, 3–1. The final was held at the Palais des Sports de Gerland in Lyon, France, from 29 November to 1 December. It was the French team's 7th Davis Cup title overall and their first since 1932. The breakup of Yugoslavia during the tournament and the declaration of independence by Croatia in June 1991 resulted in top-ranked Croatian tennis players Goran Ivanišević and Goran Prpić leaving the Yugoslavia Davis Cup team. Yugoslavia were subsequently defeated in their next tie, when lower-ranked Serbian players were called up to fill their absence in the semi-finals against France.Bailey Sandra For Split's Bedraggled Basketball Team, Risky Road Trip Ends in Victory: Arrival http://www.iht.com/articles/1991/10/18/spli.php International Herald Tribune 1 January 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20061127001948/http://www.iht.com/articles/1991/10/18/spli.php 27 November 2006 Paris 18 October 1991 At the U.S. Open tennis tournament last month in New York, the Yugoslav star Goran Ivanisevic declared, "My racket is my gun."
