Davis Cup 2019 Spain wins its sixth salad bowl
The Austrian city of
Innsbruck
and the Italian city of
Turin
will be the two
European co-venues that will host the Davis Cup 2021
.
The International Tennis Federation (ITF)
and
Kosmos Tennis
have announced that the ITF council has approved the proposal for a three-city venue.
Madrid remains the main venue and the matches played in the Spanish capital will be held at the
Madrid Arena
, in the Casa de Campo.
The matches played in Innsbruck will take place at the
Olympia-Halle
and those in Turin at the
Pala Alpitour Arena
.
Each of the cities will host the group stage of two groups and a quarter-final, with the exception of Madrid, which will be two.
In addition, the Spanish capital will host the semifinals and the final.
Each of the venues will host its national team in the group stage.
Albert Costa
,
director of the Davis Cup Finals
has affirmed that the three chosen venues share certain characteristics: "It was important to find two European cities that had a good connection with Madrid, with similar playing conditions."
The expansion to three cities as headquarters is not the only novelty.
The organizers have chosen to increase the duration of the competition to
11 days
,
four more than the 2019 Madrid Davis Cup Final
.
The Finals will be played from November 25 to December 5.
These changes are intended to
bring the competition closer to new audiences
: "The announced proposals aim to offer better programming for players while
bringing the competition
closer to new audiences and improving the fan experience," said
Kris Dent, Executive Director ITF.
