1983 Davis Cup Americas Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Americas Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1983 Davis Cup.

9 teams entered the Americas Zone in total. This year marked the abolition of the North & Central America and the South America sub-zones, with all teams now competing within a single bracket, with the overall winner being promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

Ecuador defeated Brazil in the final and qualified for the 1984 World Group.[2]
