BRUSSELS — The Davis Cup final between Belgium and Britain will go ahead despite Brussels being placed on maximum alert over the threat of an imminent attack, local organizers and the International Tennis Federation said on Monday.
The British team, featuring Andy and Jamie Murray, are bidding to win the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936 and will face Belgium, who have never won the competition, on clay in the city of Ghent, some 55 km (34 miles) northeast of Brussels.
Tennis Vlaanderen, which administers tennis in the region, has already talked to the interior ministry, police and independent security experts.
