This year also marked the introduction of the [tiebreak](/source/Tennis_scoring_system#Scoring_a_tiebreak_game), played at 6–6 in all sets except for the final set. 79 teams would enter the competition, 16 in the World Group, 14 in the Americas Zone, 19 in the Asia/Oceania Zone, and 30 in the Europe/Africa Zone. The [Bahamas](/source/Bahamas_Davis_Cup_team), [Bahrain](/source/Bahrain_Davis_Cup_team), the [Dominican Republic](/source/Dominican_Republic_Davis_Cup_team), [Kuwait](/source/Kuwait_Davis_Cup_team) and [Jordan](/source/Jordan_Davis_Cup_team) made their first appearances in the tournament.
