1924 International Lawn Tennis Challenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1924 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the 19th edition of what is now known as the Davis Cup. The tournament would, for the second straight year, be divided into the America and Europe Zones. 17 teams would compete in the Europe Zone, and 6 in America. China, Cuba, Hungary, Mexico, and New Zealand all competed for the first time, and South Africa and Austria returned to create the largest field to date.
For the second straight year, Australia would defeat France in the Inter-Zonal play-off, but would once again fall to the United States in the challenge round. The final was played at the Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States on 11-13 September.
