The Argentine Tennis Association has dedicated space to publicly remember 100 years of national history, from the debut in 1923 to the dedication in 2016.
Within the framework of the series of Davis Cup between Argentina and Lithuania at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club, a corner of a beautiful property located in the heart of Palermo allows you to travel back in time. You start 100 years ago, with the debut of Argentina in Davis, and you reach the designation in 2016, when we finally lifted the Salad Bowl. A Historical display with photos, trophies, memorabilia and much more.
The first thing you will see is the replica of the Davis Cup that Argentina lifted in 2016those given to the champion players in the indoor arena of Arena Zagreb on November 27 after making history.
Then, as you go left, the journey begins. In 1923, 100 years ago, Argentina had its first participation in the Davis Cup. They went to Geneva to face the Swiss representation. The national team, that is lost 4 to 1, was composed of Carlos Caminos, Willie Robson, Alfredo Villegas and Ronald Boyd; It was the latter that achieved the point for the Argentines.
Dozens of invaluable souvenirs such as rackets, balls, players’ clothes and even an old scoreboard with lines for the court can be seen in this sector of the museum. As you progress, you’ll catch a glimpse of more names, especially from 1967, the year since Argentina competed every season in Davis without interruption.
So the figures appeared like Vilas and Clerclater Bengoechea, Jaite, de la Peña. Everything until it reaches three finals in five years eluded us: 2006, 2008 and 2011. Although desired, The time to lift the Salad Bowl came in 2016 thanks to Del Potro, Delbonis, Mayer and Pella.
Heavy team work has the particularity of built entirely abroad. All the rivals – Poland, Italy, Great Britain and Croatia – were surpassed on their soil. Not a minor feature. And a victory to relive forever, a luxury that AAT brought to all the public who attended the series against Lithuania.
