The Billie Jean King Cup Finals will now take place in Malaga and will be alongside the Davis Cup final eight tournament.
The ITF announced the news today that the Billie Jean King Cup Finals will be relocated from Sevilla to Malaga.
It will take place on the 13th-20th November and will be alongside the Davis Cup final eight tournament which will start on the 19th of November and will conclude on the 24th of November.
Speaking about the change tournament director Conchita Martinez spoke about the passion Malaga will bring to the event and has revealed that they have contacted existing ticket holders about the change, “I know that Malaga, just a two-hour drive from Sevilla, will deliver the exceptional atmosphere and passion that fans of the Billie Jean King Cup have come to know and love,” Martinez stated.
“We have informed all existing ticket holders of the changes and will be reissuing tickets for the new location, with the option of refunds for those who require them. We are set for a blockbuster fortnight of tennis this November and I can’t wait to welcome the tennis world to Malaga this November.”
The news will be disappointment to some ticket holders about the late change as the ITF continue to be unorganised when it comes to logistical events around the team competitions.
However, Malaga will aim to bring a unique atmosphere as the event will aim to boost the attendances of both team competitions.
The event will see four first round matches, four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and a final.
