Spain opt for Seville clay
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/3696684.stm
The Davis Cup final between Spain and the USA will take place in Seville
from 3-5 December.
The Spanish Tennis Federation has chosen to play the tie at the La Cartuja
stadium, which has a capacity of 22,000.
The venue also hosted the 2003 Uefa Cup final between Celtic and Porto.
The clay courts will suit the Spanish players while slowing down the
big-hitting Andy Roddick, who will lead the US challenge.
Madrid had wanted to host the final to boost the city's bid for the 2012
Olympics but Spain's coaching team judged the capital's high altitude
would suit the fast-serving Americans.
