US Davis Cup site to be decided soon
This is what is posted on the USTA page:
NOTE: The site for the Davis Cup Final will be announced within the next 3 or 4 business days. (9/24/07)
*cough* PORTLAND *cough* - Portland is the cloesest site to me and I would LOVE to go - that said, I’m sure they’ll choose the best location to win the final versus Russia.
Here’s info on the other cities - to me, San Diego seems like the most likely actual result:
Which U.S. city will win the right to host a potential Davis Cup final?
“At the moment it seems to be down to four cities right now in the hunt: Portland being one; Winston Salem where we played the last one; Oklahoma City, where we had a tremendous tie; and San Diego. We played a match there obviously last year,” said McEnroe.
“So those at the moment are the four cities. We’re hoping within a week or so to maybe narrow it down to two. We all know we’ve got to win the next tie. My job is to get the guys ready to play Sweden. But because it’s such a quick turnaround, we have to look into some possibilities. It is a difficult time of year to find an arena in an appropriate location with hockey, basketball; all those things going on.” usta.com
