The French Tennis Federation have announced that Lille will host the Davis Cup final for the second consecutive year in November.
The French city hosted the Davis Cup final last year when France defeated Belgium 3-2 in last year’s contest win Lucas Pouille won the crucial rubber.
It will also be the third time in five years that Lille has hosted the final for the Davis Cup final as they saw the biggest crowd for a tennis match in 2014 to see Roger Federer win the Davis Cup for Switzerland.
The FFT have yet to decide what the surface is but have chosen the same city that saw them beat Spain in the semi-finals last weekend.
This year’s final will see France, who will look to retain their title, at home to Croatia, who will look to win the trophy for the second time after their first triumph in 2005.
The final will be the last traditional Davis Cup final as next year’s event will adopt a one week, one venue format involving an 18 team format.
The head to head between the two nations is currently 1-1, with Croatia winning their last meeting two years ago in the World Group semi-finals.
The final will take place on the weekend of the 23-25 of November in Lille.
