Glasgow Arena to Host Britain-Australia Davis Cup Semifinal

GLASGOW, Scotland — The Emirates Arena in Glasgow will host next month's Davis Cup semifinal between Britain and Australia.

The matches will be played Sept. 18-20 on a temporary hard court in the 8,200-seat arena.

The arena was also the venue for Britain's first-round victory over the United States in March.

Scottish-born Andy Murray says "we had a unique atmosphere in Glasgow, the crowd was unbelievable."

It will be the 13th Davis Cup meeting between the two countries dating back to 1907, with Australia holding an 8-4 advantage.

Britain is aiming to reach the final for the first time since 1978.
