DC決賽地點確定在Portland舉辦（跟Andy在賽後記者會講的一樣嘛！！！）至於surface應該是硬地！（一樣是賽後記者會有提到） http://msn.foxsports.com/tennis/story/7264732?FSO2&ATT=MA Portland to host Davis Cup final Associated Press, Updated 14 hours ago WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) - Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Ore., will host the Davis Cup final between the United States and defending champion Russia from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. The U.S. Tennis Association planned to announce the site formally Wednesday. It's the first Davis Cup final in the United States since the country won the 1992 championship by defeating Switzerland at Fort Worth, Texas. In the stands for that matchup? A 10-year-old Andy Roddick. "It changed my life," said Roddick, who helped the United States beat Sweden in the semifinals last weekend. "It changed the way I viewed tennis, especially the way I viewed Davis Cup." He is expected to join fellow top-10 player James Blake in singles against Russia, with the top-ranked doubles pairing of Bob and Mike Bryan completing the U.S. team. The Americans have won the Davis Cup title a record 31 times, but not since 1995, when Pete Sampras led the team to victory over Russia at Moscow. Nikolay Davydenko, Mikhail Youzhny, Dmitry Tursunov and Igor Andreev were on the Russian squad that defeated Germany in this year's semifinals. Tickets for the best-of-five final go on sale the week of Oct. 15. Memorial Coliseum also hosted Davis Cup matches in 1981 and 1984. "We hope to have a strong home-court advantage," U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe said. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.120.145.211
