Liverpool To Host GB Davis Cup Tie

Liverpool will stage a Davis Cup tennis tie for the first time when Great Britain face Poland in September.

The Echo Arena will host the Euro/Africa group one relegation clash from 18-20 September, with the tie to be played on hard courts.

Great Britain lost 4-1 to Ukraine in Glasgow in March in their last Davis Cup match.

Great Britain must beat Poland to avoid dropping into group two of the Euro/Africa zone – the third tier of the Davis Cup.

The Echo Arena hosted last year’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards ceremony.
