Tennis South Africa (TSA) has announced that the Kelvin Grove Club in Cape Town will host South Africa’s crucial Euro/Africa Group 2 Davis Cup tie against Bulgaria, on 13 and 14 September 2019.
The SA Davis Cup team will go into the tie knowing that victory over the Eastern Europeans will earn them immediate promotion back to Group I. South Africa suffered relegation in October last year after losing to Portugal in Lisbon.
“We decided to take this Davis Cup tie to Cape Town for two reasons – firstly the core of the team are based in the city and the players have been keen to play in their home town for a while now. Secondly, with the ITF Grade A taking place in the Mother City shortly after the tie, it provided a unique opportunity to create a week-long festival of tennis at Kelvin Grove,” said Tennis SA CEO, Richard Glover.
