Nominations announced for 2014 BNP Paribas World Team Cup wheelchair tennis event

 

The ITF has announced the nominations for the 2014 BNP Paribas World Team Cup wheelchair tennis event at the Nieuwe Sloot Tennis Centre in Alphen, Netherlands from 26 May until 1 June. Defending their 2013 titles are France men’s team, Netherlands women’s team, USA quad team and Great Britain junior team.

 

A total of 52 teams from 31 countries are contesting five events: men’s World Group (12 nations), men’s World Group II (12 nations), women’s World Group (12 nations), quad event (8 teams) and junior event (8 teams). Regional qualifying events were held in Kenya, Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka and Turkey to determine four men’s and four women’s teams to join the qualifiers and wild cards.

 

The World Team Cup is the ITF’s flagship wheelchair tennis event, often referred to as the Davis Cup and Fed Cup of wheelchair tennis. Netherlands hosts the 30th World Team Cup this year after the initial event took place in California in 1985 involving six men’s teams. The women’s competition began the following year, with quad and junior events introduced in 1998 and 2000 respectively. The ITF introduced regional qualifying for the men’s and women’s events in 2012.
