The Davis Cup is the largest annual international team competition in any sport. The tournament gives players the chance to represent their country in what is otherwise pretty much an individual sport.
From its inception, Davis Cup has attracted the top players of each generation, from former legends such as Fred Perry, Bill Tilden, Rene Lacoste, Rod Laver and John McEnroe to latter day stars such as Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras, Gustavo Kuerten and Lleyton Hewitt.
In 2001, France captured its ninth Davis Cup title with a 3-2 Final victory over Australia in Melbourne. A record 142 countries have entered the 2002 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas, with the leading 16 nations contesting the World Group.
