1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge America Zone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The America Zone was one of the two regional zones of the 1934 International Lawn Tennis Challenge.

5 teams entered the America Zone: 3 teams competed in the North & Central America Zone, while 2 teams competed in the South America Zone. The winner of each sub-zone would play against each other to determine who moved to the Inter-Zonal Final to compete against the winner of the Europe Zone.[1]

The United States defeated Mexico in the North & Central America Zone final and received a walkover into the Inter-Zonal Final after both Brazil and Peru, the only competing teams in the South America Zone, withdrew.[2][3][4]
