| Davis Cup Final, Seville, 2004 |
SEVILLA (EFE/Agencies) The Royal Spanish Tennis Federation has selected Seville as the venue for the Davis Cup final in early December, when the host nation will square off against Argentina. The federation said Wednesday it opted for Seville ahead of Valencia, which initially appeared to be the frontrunner. The race to host the Davis Cup final began on Sept. 18, when Spain and Argentina wrapped up their semifinal victories over France and Serbia, respectively. Because the last Davis Cup tie between the two countries - the 2008 final - was played in Argentina, it was Spain's turn to be the host nation.Madrid, Malaga, Seville and Valencia were all in the running but the federation narrowed the selection down to the latter two cities and eventually decided to propose that Seville host the event from Dec. 2 to 4.>>>
