1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge

1934 edition of the International Lawn Tennis Challenge April 2022 1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge 14 July 1933 – 31 July 1934 29th 27 GBR 1933 1935 The 1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the 29th edition of what is now known as the Davis Cup. 10 teams would enter the Europe Zone (with 17 teams taking part in the qualifying rounds), while only 5 would enter the Americas Zone, 3 in North America and 2 in South America. Due to the large number of entries in Europe, a "Qualifying Round" system was introduced in order to better manage the number of teams competing. European teams which lost before the 1933 Europe Zone semifinals would play-off against each other for four spots in the 1934 Europe Zone main draw. In the America Inter-Zonal Final the United States received a walkover due to Brazil's absence, while in the Europe Zone final Australia defeated Czechoslovakia. The United States defeated Australia in the Inter-Zonal play-off, but would fall to Great Britain in the Challenge Round. The final was played at the All England Club Centre Court in Wimbledon, London, England on 28–31 July.Bud Collins The Bud Collins History of Tennis 2010 New Chapter Press [New York] 978-0942257700 495–496, 499 2ndThe Encyclopedia of Tennis 1974 Allen & Unwin London 0047960426 Max Robertson 384 America Zone 1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge America Zone North & Central America Zone 24–27 May 30 May–1 June Wilmington, DE, United States (grass) USA 1912 5 CAN 1921 0 bye MEX 1934 Baltimore, MD, United States (grass) USA 1912 5 MEX 1934 0 South America Zone BRA 1889 w/o PER 1825 Americas Inter-Zonal Final United States vs. Brazil United States defeated Brazil by walkover.https://www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/tie.aspx?id=M-DC-1934-AMI-M-USA-BRA-01 United States v Brazil daviscup.com Europe Zone 1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge Europe Zone Qualifying round 28–30 July 1933 First Round Brussels, Belgium BEL 3 HUN 1920 2 2 y 14 July–20 August 1933 18 August–3 September 1933 Second Round Qualifying Round Dublin, Ireland (grass) IRL 1 GER 1933 4 Copenhagen, Denmark DEN 4 GRE old 1 Oslo, Norway (clay) NOR 0 Kingdom of Yugoslavia 5 Vienna, Austria AUT 5 ESP 1931 0 Stockholm, Sweden SWE 2 BEL 3 Monte Carlo, Monaco MON 1 SUI 4 Warsaw, Poland POL 1928 2 ITA 1861 3 Noordwijk, Netherlands (clay) NED 4 ROU 1 Leipzig, Germany GER 1933 5 DEN 0 Zagreb, Yugoslavia Kingdom of Yugoslavia 1 AUT 4 Montreux, Switzerland BEL 2 SUI 3 Scheveningen, Netherlands (clay) ITA 1861 3 NED 2 GER 1933, AUT, SUI and ITA 1861 advance to the 1934 Europe Zone main draw.
