Monument to the Davis Cup at Roland Garros.

The Davis Cup/Fed Cup Project is a sub-project of WikiProject Tennis focusing on the creation, improvement, and maintenance of articles, templates, and categories related to Davis Cup and Fed Cup (Billie Jean King Cup).

Goals

Our goals are to raise the main Davis Cup article to at least Good Article status, and to have an article for each individual year and team. 2006 Davis Cup is the current gold standard for years; Australia and Norway for teams.

To do list

• Create:
  • Teams
    • All Fed Cup teams not seen here.
    • Davis Cup: Current Group IV teams & teams not currently competing
    • Fed Cup team templates (ala Category:Davis Cup team templates)
  • Years
    • Red links here and here
  • Photos: there are hardly any pictures in the articles, much less recent pictures.
• Expand:
  • Almost all Davis Cup team articles
  • All Billie Jean King Cup team articles
  • 1973 Davis Cup-2005 Davis Cup: create child pages for WG and Zones
  • 1993 Federation Cup (tennis)-2006 Fed Cup: create child pages
  • Add history (with references, of course) to main Davis Cup and Fed Cup articles, as well as the individual years, particularly about:
    • South Africa's participation and the protests thereof,
    • Davis Cup's role in the internationalization of tennis, and
    • anything else that's notable.
  • Davis Cup structure and Fed Cup structure: expand on current format and talk about past formats
  • This list
• Cleanup:
  • Wikify Fed Cup
  • Keep everything neatly categorized

Resources

Both DavisCup.com and BillieJeanKingCup.com have details of every tie ever played (!), World Group draws back to 1981, and Zonal draws at least a few years back, and plenty of records and other information about teams. There's also a book, The Davis Cup, Celebrating 100 Years by Richard Evans, if anyone has access to it.

Most of the templates in Category:WikiProject Tennis Templates relate to Davis and Fed Cup.

We now have stub categories! Category:Davis Cup stubs and Category:Billie Jean King Cup stubs
