Davis Cup and Fed Cup venues announced
The ITF has announced that Prague and Buenos Aires will host two of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas quarterfinals on 6-8 April, with Ostrava being the city of choice in the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas semifinal between Czech Republic and Italy on 21-22 April. The Russian Tennis Federation has been granted an extension until 24 February to confirm the venue for Russia’s semifinal against Serbia.
The Czech Davis Cup team will make a rare appearance at the O2 Arena in the country’s capital city for the highly
anticipated clash against 2010 champions Serbia. It will be the first time that a Davis Cup tie has been played in Prague since the World Group play-offs in 2007, when the Czech duo of Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek overcame Switzerland, who had the world No. 1 at the time, Roger Federer, among their ranks.
They will be hoping the city proves similarly successful against a Serbian team that could be led by the current No. 1, Novak Djokovic. Argentina, meanwhile, will play host to Croatia at Parque Roca in Buenos Aires in a tie to be played on outdoor clay. The last time the South Americans lost a home tie on clay was against Slovak Republic in 1998.
The venue for one of the 2012 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas semifinals has also been announced. Czech Republic, who are playing at home for the first time since winning Fed Cup last November, have chosen the CEZ Arena in Ostrava for their last four meeting with Italy.
