France sets Davis Cup final against Belgium in Lille
Print Edition
The Davis Cup final between France and Belgium will be played at Lille’s Stade Pierre-Mauroy on November 24-26, the French tennis federation announced yesterday.
The tie will be played on a hardcourt indoor surface with the roof closed. The stadium is home to Ligue 1 soccer club Lille with a capacity of more than 50,000 but that is reduced for the tennis, with a court set at one end, to seat 27,500. France beat Serbia 3-1 at the weekend at the same stadium, on clay, to seal its place in the final. The Lille stadium was also the venue last time France played in the final, losing to Roger Federer’s Switzerland in 2014 on clay. Nine-time champion France last won the Davis Cup in 2001. Belgium, which secured its place in the final by beating Australia 3-2 in Brussels, is chasing its first title after being a losing finalist in 2015 and 1904.
