Encyclopedia > Federation Cup

The Fed Cup (until 1995 Federation Cup) is the most important tennis tournament for female national teams, very similar to the men's Davis Cup. Both events are sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation.


The event was first held in 1963, the 50th anniversary of ITF, and has been held annually ever since.


Arantxa Sánchez Vicario of Spain currently holds the record for the most singles and doubles wins in Fed Cup competition with 72 total victories and also holds the records for most ties played (58) and most years played (16).

Federation Cup (459 words)
Like the Davis Cup, it differs from the professional tennis circuit in that the competition pits country against country, not player against player, in a series of head-to-head matchups over the course of the year to decide the year-end champion.
In the early years, the Federation Cup was contested over the course of a one-week tournament at a predetermined venue.
Because of the increase in participating nations, the Federation Cup moved closer to the Davis Cup format, with competition among the 16 elite World Group countries staged over a series of weekend head-to-head matchups leading to a year-end final.
Federation Cup Tennis Betting - Free Womens Tennis Bets (362 words)
The Federation Cup is the equivalent of the men's Davis Cup.
The Federation Cup got underway in 1963 as it was felt important to give the women an opportunity to play for their country and match the men's version and have the same opportunity.
There are many different ways to having a Federation Cup bet with bookmakers such as Stan James and these would include the individual match winner or if you are a little more adventurous the outright winner.
