The Ghost of a Lost Final In 1974, India reached the final of the Davis Cup. But the Government forced the team to boycott the match as the host, South Africa, was under apartheid rule. The players are still not sure if it was the right decision. Also, they reveal old grouses against the Amritraj brothers | 26 Nov, 2009 • • • India boycotted the 1974 Davis Cup final as the host nation was under apartheid rule. Here’s the match that never happened. Anand Amritraj should have been on top of the world. He travelled the globe, had his pick of women to date, and made a handsome living playing tennis, a sport that he loved. Amritraj was the second best player in the world’s second largest country, but he was also the second best player in his own family, a distinction which would serve as both a curse and an inspiration. This month marks the thirty-five-year anniversary of the most important match in tennis history never to be played. In 1974, South Africa and India crashed tennis’ most exclusive party—the Davis Cup—which had never been won by any country outside the sport’s Big Four: the US, UK, France and Australia. The feel-good story of two countries from the developing world making it to the Davis Cup Final had no happy ending, however, as the Indian Government forced the team to boycott the final in protest of South Africa’s apartheid government. The players have had years to consider the merits of this decision; some have now come to peace with it, while others still beli...

No wonder it is often described as the ‘World Cup of Tennis’. Though it began in 1900 as a contest between the United States of America & Great Britain, it involves 130 countries as of 2016. Predictably, USA is the most successful country in the tournament, winning it 32 times and finishing 2 nd 29 times. Australia & Great Britain follow the USA on the honour roll. Andy Murray-led Great Britain are also the defending champions. Though India has not won the prestigious tournament yet, the country has always come up with strong performances and have finished as runners-up thrice. This, despite being unable to boast top-ranked singles players. In fact, India displayed its capability in its debut appearance in 1921. Powered by performances from Mohammed Sleem, Fayzee brothers and Lewis Deane, India surprised France 4-1 in Paris to reach the semifinals of the International Lawn Tennis Challenge (the earlier name of Davis Cup) before being blanked by Japan who won the event. Strong performances in the initial years India came up with noteworthy victories in the tournament between 1921-1929, defeating the likes of France, Romania, Holland, Belgium. Spain and Greece – all of them strong teams with top-ranked players – among others. The inspirational performances from Cotah Ramaswamy and Krishna Prasad apart from the above-mentioned players brought laurels to the country. India regularly won the Zonal finals in the 1960s and played the Inter-Zonal finals during the 1960s. India rea...
