The Tunisia Davis Cup team represents Tunisia in Davis Cup tennis competition and are governed by the Fédération Tunisienne de Tennis. Tunisia was suspended from Davis Cup play for 2014.
Suspension
Tunisia is currently suspended from Davis Cup play for 2014, because the Tunisian Tennis Federation was found to have ordered Malek Jaziri not to compete against an Israeli, Amir Weintraub. The International Tennis Federation Board of Directors found that the Tunisian Tennis Federation had "breached the ITF Constitution by interfering with international sporting practice and ordering Tunisian player Malek Jaziri not to compete against Israeli player Amir Weintraub at the 2013 Tashkent Challenger in October. The Board ... voted to suspend Tunisia from the 2014 Davis Cup competition."[1] ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti said: "There is no room for prejudice of any kind in sport or in society. The ITF Board decided to send a strong message to the Tunisian Tennis Federation that this kind of action will not be tolerated."[1]
Tunisia before it was suspended had been in the Europe/Africa Zone of Group III. They competed in Group II on three occasions.
History
Tunisia competed in its first Davis Cup in 1982.
