Great Britain to face Colombia 2,500 metres above sea level in February Davis Cup Finals qualifier in Bogota
Great Britain face a tough task to qualify for the Davis Cup Finals in 2023 with their February qualifier against Colombia to be played at a venue 2,500 metres above sea level in Bogota.
Aside from the high altitude there are more challenges in the way, as the tie will be played on clay – a surface that would be expected to favour the Colombians – and it will come just five days after the conclusion of the Australian Open.
GB skipper Leon Smith is yet to select his team for the event but when he does, it could mean a tight turnaround and an arduous travel schedule for the likes of Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper or Dan Evans.
