Biography
Bastiansen was a regular member of the Denmark Davis Cup team throughout the 1980s, which included stints in the World Group. He won 18 of the 29 singles matches that he played. All of his 16 doubles rubbers were with Michael Mortensen, for 10 wins. He helped Denmark qualify for the World Group for the first time when he won both of his singles rubbers in the 1982 Europe Zone final against Hungary in Budapest. The win in the reverse singles was over Balázs Taróczy and kept them in the tie, before Mortensen won it for Denmark in the final rubber.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=19830504&id=0flNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=kxMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1961,1107572&hl=en|title=Lendel romps at Champions' event|date=4 May 1983|work=Star-News|page=2D|accessdate=19 February 2016}} He was a member of the Danish team that defeated Spain in the 1988 Davis Cup World Group, to make the quarter-finals.{{cite news|url=http://articles.philly.com/1988-02-07/sports/26242823_1_forest-s-tennant-nascar-license-nascar-vice-president|title=Tennis|date=7 February 1988|work=Philadelphia Media Network|accessdate=19 February 2016}}{{dead link|date=October 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}
