The president of the Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET), Pedro Muñoz, has confirmed that the next Davis Cup semifinal will take place in the Spanish capital.
Benidorm, Gijón, Madrid and Santa Cruz de Tenerife were announced as the four cities chosen from the initial ten bids to host the tie. Barcelona, Jerez de la Frontera, Malaga, Marbella, Murcia and Santander were the failed cities.
The Spanish tennis players announced in Rome that with this fact they broke all contact with the president of the Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET) Pedro Muñoz, a supporter of the Madrid candidacy instead of other cities such as Benidorm, Tenerife or Gijón.
From September 19 to 21, 2008, the well-known Madrid Bullring (Las Ventas) will bring together thousands of tennis lovers in this beautiful city, despite the opinion of Spanish tennis players who would have preferred to play at sea level, taking into account Note that Madrid is 600 meters above sea level and this issue makes the game faster for US players.
The city of Madrid and the accommodation in the locality will be full for those dates, so it is recommended to prepare the accommodation in advance. Good connections with public transport between the Plaza de Toros de la Ventas and tourist apartments in Madrid for the stay would be smart for those who will travel to Madrid for this event where the Spanish tennis players will give everything they can. can to win.
