Episode 14: Boston's Davis Cup Roots
from It’s Also History: Tales & Tidbits from Alan's Archives · host Alan Foulds
The Davis Cup Tournament is viewed as the World Cup of Tennis: Nation vs. Nation vying for top honors. The competition moves from city to city, around the globe, but almost forgotten is that very edition in 1900 - the inaugural event staged in Boston. In fact, the tournament was the brainchild of a Harvard tennis player, and the trophy, emblematic of the championship, was created by a venerable Boston jeweler.
