1985 Davis Cup Europe Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Europe Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1985 Davis Cup.

27 teams entered the Europe Zone in total, split across two sub-zones. The winner of each sub-zone was promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

Denmark defeated Romania in the Zone A final, and Great Britain defeated Israel in the Zone B final, resulting in both Denmark and Great Britain being promoted to the 1986 World Group.[2][3]
