Venues set for World Group quarterfinals
The venues for the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas quarter finals have been finalised by the IFT set to be played Jul. 9-11. Among those, CWLand DR have surprisingly abandoned the clay that served them well in the play-off and first round match by choosing to stage their tie with Austria in Fitzworthingham on an indoor hard surface. This might have been influenced by the expected absence of Randy Smeltz due to an unknown illness. [...]
