About
AO Arena will be the new host of the Group Stages of the Davis Cup Finals later this year.
The event, widely regarded as the men’s ‘World Cup of Tennis’, will enable fans to see some of the world’s best players, with Britain to take on three other nations from September 12-17, 2023.
Last year Britain was chosen as one of four nations to host the Group Stages of the Finals. Each nation will play three times over the six-day competition. The top two nations from each of the four groups will advance to a quarterfinal ‘Final 8’ knock-out competition held in Malaga between November 21-26.
The multi-year agreement between the LTA and the International Tennis Federation to host a Group Stage in Britain is on the basis that Britain qualifies or receives a wild card for the finals in each of those years. It is very much part of the LTA’s strategic vision to further open up tennis to more audiences by taking events to different parts of the country. Leon Smith’s GB team secured their place in the Group Stages having defeated Colombia 3-1 away last month.
In 2015, Britain won the Davis Cup for the first time in 79 years, reaching two more semifinals and two quarterfinals since then.
The draw for the group stage of the Davis Cup Finals will takes place in in Malaga Wednesday, 29 March at 16:00 local time (3pm in Britain) and will be streamed live on the ITF YouTube Channel. The venues for the three other Davis Cup Finals Group Stages will be confirmed at the draw.
