BTW, it is now "official" since the ITF has made the announcement.

From the Davis Cup web site:

"Davis Cup semifinal venues setThe venues for the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas semifinal ties between Argentina and Russia, and Spain and USA, to be played on 19-21 September, have been announced.

Argentina will be looking to extend its unbeaten home run of 12 ties when it hosts Russia on clay at the Estadio Parque Roca in Buenos Aires. The two nations last faced each other in the 2006 final when Russia emerged victorious 3-2 in Moscow.

The Spanish Tennis Federation has chosen the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas in Madrid for the showdown between Spain and titleholders USA. Spain lost to USA in the quarterfinals last year and will be looking to reach the final for the first time since winning the title in 2004, when it defeated USA in Seville."

Anyone have tourist advice on Madrid for me?
Gracias!
