The ITF has recently launched a Davis Cup Supporter Survey which will run until the start of 2012 on the official Davis Cup website. The purpose is to learn more about the people who make Davis Cup special – the fans – with the information helping the ITF to promote the competition and attract commercial partners. Fans who complete the survey will be entered into a prize draw for tickets to any World Group tie in 2012 (full terms and conditions are on the website).
