Fed Cup
The Fed Cup (until 1995 Federation Cup ) is the most important competition for national teams in women's tennis , analogous to the Davis Cup for men.
history
As early as 1919 Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman had the idea of a competition between women's teams based on the Davis Cup . In 1923 she created the Wightman Cup , which was an annual international match between the USA and Great Britain . It was not until 1963, on the 50th birthday of the ITF , that the original idea was implemented and the Federation Cup was held for the first time .
In the beginning, it was held between 16 countries and lasted one week. With more sponsorship, the number of participants has increased steadily since the 1970s, so that regional qualification competitions were introduced in 1992. In 1995 the name was changed to Fed Cup and the international match was further aligned with the Davis Cup by changing the game mode (four singles and one doubles instead of two singles / one double, allocation of home rights) .
In 2010 the Fed Cup was recorded for the first time in stereoscopic 3D and then broadcast in 3D by the Anixe HD channel.
