Nominations announced for 2015 BNP Paribas World Team Cup wheelchair tennis event

 

The ITF has announced the nominations for the 2015 BNP Paribas World Team Cup wheelchair tennis event at the Club Ali Bey Manavgat in Antalya, Turkey on 25-31 May. Defending their 2014 titles are France men’s team, Netherlands women’s team, Great Britain quad team and Russia junior team.

 

A total of 52 teams from 28 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 (eight teams) and junior event (eight teams). Regional qualifying events were held in Colombia, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Turkey to determine six men’s and four women’s teams to join the direct entries.

 

The BNP Paribas World Team Cup, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2015, is the ITF’s flagship wheelchair tennis event, often referred to as the Davis and Fed Cups of wheelchair tennis. 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. Due to the increased number of teams wanting to take part, the ITF introduced regional qualifying for the men’s and women’s events in 2012.
