2003 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group IV
Group IV was split into two sub-groups. One tournament was held in Lagos, Nigeria, February 5–9, on hard courts, while the other was held in San Marino, June 11–15, on clay courts.[1]
Format[edit]
The teams in each sub-group were split into two pools and played in a round-robin format. In the San Marino tournament, the top two teams from each pool advanced to a promotion pool, from which the two top teams were promoted to the Europe/Africa Zone Group III in 2004. In the Lagos tournament, no promotion round was held; the two teams which won their respective round-robin pools were promoted directly to Group III.
