On 12 - 14 September in Valmiera Olympic Centre, with the support of Skonto Būve, the Latvia Davis Cup Team will compete with the Austrian National Tennis Team within the Davis Cup competition.

Davis Cup by BNP Paribas is the premier international team event in men's tennis, and is organised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). This competition has taken place since 1900, when a contest between the national teams of the United States and Great Britain was held. This year 122 national teams are participating in the competition at various levels, and the Latvia team is competing in the Europe/Africa Zone of Group 1.

The first group duel for Latvia took place in February, in Slovakia, in which our tennis players conceded to the home side. The matches against Austria will be to stay in this group. Until now these two teams’ paths have not crossed in the Davis Cup. Currently Latvia takes 39th, but Austria - 21st position in the Davis Cup rankings.
