Tennis NZ has taken part in the Davis Cup Competition since 1924 and have played 120 ties in the 62 years. This year the top Kiwi players are back in Asia/Oceania Group I just below the world’s top 16 nations and the competition is tough, but the New Zealanders will be giving it everything on the court to win.

It is a must-win game for New Zealand and they need home country support.
