Description

1913 Davis Cup Team by Edwin Trim No O31

Players include Parke, Dixon, Gore and Roper Barrett. The 1913 International Lawn Tennis Challenge was the 12th edition of what is now known as the Davis Cup. With Great Britain’s win in 1912, the competition returned to Europe for the first time in five years. This prompted several new teams to join the competition, creating the largest field to date. The first-round tie between Germany and France, played at Weisbaden, Germany was the first Davis Cup tie to be played on clay courts, or any surface other than grass. The United States would triumph in the final, which was played at Worple Road in Wimbledon, on 25–28 July. The U.S. beat G.B. by three rubbers to two. Condition – Excellent.
