1970 Davis Cup Europe Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1970 Davis Cup.

31 teams entered the Europe Zone, competing across 2 sub-zones. The winners of each sub-zone went on to compete in the Inter-Zonal Zone against the winners of the Americas Zone and Eastern Zone.[1]

Spain defeated Yugoslavia in the Zone A final, and West Germany defeated the Soviet Union in the Zone B final, resulting in both Spain and West Germany progressing to the Inter-Zonal Zone.[1][2][3]

South Africa were ejected from the tournament on 23 March due to protests over the South African government's apartheid policies.[4][5][6]
