Nominations announced for Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round and Zone Group ties

The ITF has announced the official team nominations for the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round and Zone Group ties taking place on 4-6 March. A total of 32 ties will be held next week.

The Draws for all ties will be held on Thursday 3 March.

This is a terrible time of the year for America to head back to Australia. Even though the tie is going to be awesome against the Aussies at the AMAZEBALLS Historic Kooyong Club on grass in Melbourne. Still a tough trip to do twice in a year and only a month after returning from there?

Live scoring for all ties will be available on the official Davis Cup website throughout the weekend. In addition, the English and Spanish versions of the website will both feature a live blog, reports, photographs, audio interviews and live streaming. There will also be a fan zone showing the best social media content on www.daviscup.com/showyourcolours

Follow all the action on www.daviscup.com, www.copadavis.com, www.twitter.com/daviscup, www.facebook.com/DavisCupTennis, www.Weibo.com/daviscupofficial and www.DavisCup.tv

The defending champs. The British have barely been able to savor their victory when it’s time to defend the title again. We wish the ITF would allow the winning team to sit and wait in the finals while everyone else battles it out. A challenge event. Wimbledon was like that for many decades.
