Too early for a semis thread

Ten Spanish Cities Bid To Host Davis Cup Semifinals

The 10 cities are: Barcelona, Benidom, Gijon, Jerez de la Frontera, Madrid, Malaga, Marbella, Murcia, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Santander. Each proposed venue has a capacity of at least 12,000 with four of them detailing a capacity of up to 20,000 and beyond. The highest attendance for a Davis Cup tie was set at the Spain versus USA World Group final in 2004 in Seville when the daily crowd numbered 27,200.
A short list of candidates will be drawn up by RFET. After each of the shortlisted cities has been visited, a final selection will be made on May 9. The chosen venue will be forwarded to the ITF for approval, subject to a successful site visit.
