The Davis Cup is the premier international team event in men's tennis, and one of the world's oldest and most prestigious competitions. It has been contested annually since 1900 (by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) since 1979). The winner gets a magnificent silver cup, the Davis Cup Trophy, which was donated to the hosts of the first match by Harvard University student Dwight F. Davis, one of the contest's founders.
Russia has won the Davis Cup twice for more than its 100-year history. In 2002, the Russian tennis players triumphed over France in the ultimate series with a score 3:2. This was the key moment for the tennis development in Russia. The second time when the Russian tennis players came first in the competition was in 2006, when they won over Argentine with a score 3:2.
The composition of the souvenir pack in cover “Davis Cup (without a certificate)” includes a postal block №831 “Davis Cup 2002”.
