Great Britain to play Italy on clay in Naples

The Aegon GB Davis Cup Team will play their Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group quarter-final tie against Italy on outdoor clay in Naples.

The tie, which is taking place from 4-6 April, will be hosted at the Tennis Club Napoli. Andy Murray, James Ward, Colin Fleming and Dominic Inglot secured their quarter-final position with defeat over the USA in February.

Aegon GB Davis Cup Team Captain Leon Smith said: "We’re very excited to be playing our World Group quarter-final in Naples. The Italians have a very strong team and we are under no illusions as to how difficult this tie will be, but our team put on a phenomenal performance to beat the USA earlier this month and so we hope to carry that momentum forward and give this tie absolutely everything we’ve got. No doubt the matches will be played in front of a very passionate home crowd, so we look forward to seeing as many British supporters out there as possible as it makes a huge difference the team.”
