The 2012 Davis Cup finals between the Czech Republic and holders Spain on November 16-18 will be held in Prague, organisers from the Ceska sportovni agency said Tuesday after some haggling over the venue.
The finals will take place at Prague’s O2 Arena, sitting about 14,000 people, after Ceska sportovni struck a deal with the organisers of a dance show originally scheduled for November 17.
On November 3-4, the largest indoor venue in the country will also host the women’s tennis Fed Cup finals between holders the Czech Republic and Serbia.
“Prague will be the first city to host both finals in at least 60 years,” Ceska sportovni chairman Miroslav Cernosek told reporters.
