GLASGOW missed out on the chance to host this year’s Davis Cup finals, with Innsbruck and Turin chosen alongside Madrid.
The International Tennis Federation announced in January that it was considering bids for two extra host cities to join the Spanish capital, having approved an expansion of the event to 11 days.
It has now opted for the Olympia-Halle in Innsbruck, Austria, and the Pala Alpitour Arena in Turin, Italy, with both venues hosting two groups of three nations and one quarter-final.
The Lawn Tennis Association said: “The LTA put together a strong bid for Glasgow as one of the host cities of the Davis Cup by Rakuten Finals 2021, knowing the event would have received a great response from the home crowd.
“Sadly we weren’t selected this time but we remain committed to building on our record of hosting Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup ties around Britain while exploring opportunities to bring world-class tennis to our fans.”
Great Britain will play their matches against France and the Czech Republic — as well as a quarter-final if they win their group — in Innsbruck.
