Spain’s Davis Cup by BNP Paribas victory in December secured the nation its fifth European Tennis Trophy for Overall Tennis Performance. The Trophy recognizes and rewards the annual achievements of Tennis Europe’s 49 member nations, providing a year-end ranking of the performances of players and teams across the main competitive disciplines.
Spain won the Professional Tennis category, finished fifth in Junior Tennis, eighth in Seniors Tennis and fourth in Wheelchair Tennis to take the overall crown. Other nations to be honored are: Russia (Junior Tennis Trophy), Germany (Senior Tennis Trophy) and Netherlands (Wheelchair Tennis Trophy).
“A European Tennis Trophy victory represents not just the achievements of the players, but also the performances of coaches, administrators and federation staff,” said Tennis Europe President Jacques Dupre.
The prizes will be awarded at a special ceremony during Tennis Europe’s Annual General Meeting in Lyon in March.
