According to Boyfriend Jon, the contenders to host the March Davis Cup tie between the U.S. and Switzerland are San Antonio, Birmingham, and Greenville.
With all due respect to the good folks of Alabama and South Carolina,
you have to think San Antonio is the best option. You have a huge arena
-- the Alamodome -- in a major city, barely an hour from the home base
of the top American player. I was told that, potentially, this could be
the largest crowd ever to attend a sanctioned match in the U.S. When
Federer signed on to play Davis Cup in 2009, we suspect he didn't
envision himself performing before 25,000 Texans!
Does anyone know how these sites are selected? Because no offense to Alabama and South Carolina, but WTF?
