Four members of the Harvard University tennis team conceived the idea of a international team match. One of them, Dwight F. Davis, designed the tournament format and bought the silver trophy with his own money.<\/p>\n In 2019, the traditional year-long home-and-away format for the final stages was revamped into a centralized, multi-day World Group Finals event held in single host cities (such as Madrid, Malaga, and later Italy)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 114th edition of the Davis Cup reaches its conclusion in Bologna on 24-29 November.
