The symbol of this prestigious event is the beautiful silver Davis Cup trophy, donated by Harvard student Dwight Filley Davis in 1900. It consists of three pieces, the silver Trophy and two wooden bases. The Davis Cup weighs 105 kg and is 107 cm in diameter at its widest point. The bowl is engraved with the competitions from 1900-1919, while the tray is engraved with the competitions from 1920-32. The competitions from 1933 through 2002 are engraved on plaques on the top two wooden plinths. In 2002, the trophy gained a new plinth, adding 16 additional plaques and castings and raising the height of the trophy to 110cm. While only two nations, the United States and the British Isles, participated in the first three competitions, interest grew and by 1913, an additional six nations had joined them. Participation continued to grow steadily, with entries reaching 50 nations in 1969 and topping 100 nations for the first time in 1993. T oday, more than 120 nations regularly compete in Davis Cup. The Davis Cup is a recognised institution in world tennis, as influential today as it was instrumental in the sport’s growth. The simplicity of its unchanged format has provided the framework for one of the most successful and famous competitions in sporting history. Ties consist of five rubbers over three days: two singles on the first day, the doubles rubber on the second and the two reverse singles on the third and final uploads/Geographie/ davis-cup-guide.pdf
