History
Tunisia competed in its first Davis Cup in 1982.
Tunisia was 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.[1] Before the suspension, Tunisia was assigned to the Europe/Africa Zone of Group III. They competed in Group II on three occasions.
