Davis Cup Finals to take place over 11 days

London: The 2021 Davis Cup Finals will be held over 11 days rather than seven and will almost certainly be staged across three cities, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) confirmed on Monday. The changes proposed by the ITF's event partner Kosmos Tennis, the Spanish-based investment firm who are pumping in $3 billion over 25 years, were agreed by the ITF Board.

This year's event is scheduled for Nov 25-Dec 5.

The ITF confirmed that two more European cities are being sought to share the staging of the 2021 Finals with Madrid which hosted the first edition of the revamped competition in 2019.

Another change is to have the Finals trimmed from 18 to 16 teams from 2022. Agencies
