Tennis Canada has decided to play its Davis Cup team’s 2013 first-round match against Spain in Vancouver at UBC’s Doug Mitchell Thunderbirds Sports Centre, the Vancouver Sun reports.
That was the same site of Canada’s loss to France last February. The decision was not unexpected, as Vancouver is on the West Coast and is the closet major Canadian city to Australia, where the players will be returning from. The 2013 first-round World Group Davis Cup ties will be played Feb. 1-3.
