Notes
^ a b In response to the Yugoslav Wars and following the adoption of UN SCR 757 in May 1992, Yugoslavia was barred from competing in international sporting competition. This resulted in the Yugoslav team being disqualified from this and future Davis Cups and their Qualifying Round tie against Cuba was defaulted.[ 3]
^ a b Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, a team representing the Commonwealth of Independent States took their place in the competition.
