Also this year the Davis Cup quarter-finals will be held in Naples in April. The challenge will be between Italy and Great Britain.
The Lungomare di Napoli returns to host another major international event. After the success of last year, the Davis Cup will be hosted again by the city of Naples.
In the 2013 the tennis challenge between Italy and Chile was played, while this year our national team will face Great Britain.
The event will be disputed from 4 to 6 April 2014 and will be valid for the quarter-finals of the World Group.
The mayor of Naples Luigi De Magistris said he was very proud of the decision taken by Federtennis Italiana, taken with the endorsement of the international body and declared that "Our waterfront and its arena have beating locations such as the Foro Italico in Rome and the stadiums in Genoa, Turin and Milan ".
At the moment the assignment has been given with reserve, but will be final after the Tennis Club Napoli has fulfilled some formalities and will have signed the convention.
Therefore, the red clay courts of the Tennis Club of Naples will be a challenging ground for the British Andy Murray and Italian Fabio Fognini, who a few days ago had explicitly requested to be able to play on outdoor courts just to make it difficult for his opponent.
The other challenge of the quarter-finals, from which will come out the challenger who will face the winner between Fognini and Murray, will be the one that will dispute Roger Federer, for Switzerland, and Andrey Golubev for Kazakhstan and which will be played in Geneva.
