Notes

  1. ^ The Czech Republic replaced Czechoslovakia in the World Group and assumed all historical records for the former country.[3]
  2. ^ a b c d Russia took over the place in the World Group gained by the CIS in the 1992 Davis Cup, and assumed all historical records held by the Soviet Union.[4] Former Soviet states and newly independent countries Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine would all begin as new nations in Group III.
  3. ^ a b As the stronger tennis nation that began Davis Cup play immediately after the breakup of Yugoslavia, and due to the ongoing sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Croatia took Yugoslavia's spot in Group I and Slovenia began as a new nation in Group III. Yugoslavia continued to hold their historical records when they resumed play in 1995, which were subsequently passed onto Serbia.[5]
