Davis Cup anniversary
In 1965, a Davis Cup tie, or elimination round, was played at the Samuell-Grand Tennis Center. The star of the show was 22-year-old Arthur Ashe, who dominated. It was Ashe’s first appearance in the Deep South, and the good publicity surrounding it was healing for Dallas, where the stigma of the JFK assassination was still fresh. The tennis center celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Davis Cup tie with a two-day tournament, from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. both days.
