    RELEASE DATE: Thursday 14th April 2016 TENNIS STAR KICKS OFF THE DAVIS CUP BY BNP PARIBAS TROPHY TOUR IN YORKSHIRE To celebrate the momentous occasion when Great Britain won the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Trophy, Yorkshire tennis star Kyle Edmund, who was part of the winning team, has kicked off the Davis Cup Trophy Tour in Yorkshire. The Aegon GB Davis Cup Team lifted the trophy for the first time in 79 years after an historic win over Belgium in the 2015 Davis Cup Final last November. To celebrate this fantastic achievement, The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is bringing the Davis Cup Trophy Tour to more than 90 destinations across the country including multiple areas in Yorkshire such as Leeds, Sheffield and Ilkley. The tour aims to thank the tennis community who supported the team on its incredible journey and to inspire a new generation to pick up a racket and get involved in tennis. Kyle Edmund, who lives in Beverley, brought the famous trophy to David Lloyd in Hull on Saturday 9th April. There tennis fans, players, and coaches were able to meet Kyle and have a once in a lifetime opportunity to be pictured with the impressive Davis Cup. Kyle Edmund, Davis Cup Champion, said: “Winning was an incredible moment personally and also for all involved and I’m eager to help ensure a lasting legacy following this historic achievement. Seeing everyone’s reaction when they saw the Davis Cup and sharing a bit of that passion we had on court, will hopefully encourage others to get involved and choose tennis as part of their everyday lives”.
