1923 International Lawn Tennis Challenge Europe Zone

International tennis competition 1923 International Lawn Tennis Challenge The Europe Zone was one of the two regional zones of the 1923 International Lawn Tennis Challenge. For the first time, the competition would be split into two zones: the America Zone and the Europe Zone. This change was necessitated by having more than 16 teams compete for the cup (thus not fitting into one easily workable draw). The past several years had also seen a rise in the number of defaults, as teams from around the globe tried to work out the logistics of playing such an international tournament. Regional zones would help alleviate these problems. 13 teams entered the Europe Zone, with the winner going on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Final against the winner of the America Zone.Bud Collins The Bud Collins History of Tennis 2010 New Chapter Press [New York] 978-0942257700 495–506 2nd France defeated Spain in the final, and went on to face Australia in the Inter-Zonal Final.
