U.S. to play India in Winston Salem



The United States will host India in North Carolina for their Davis Cup World Group qualifying round tie in September, an Indian tennis official said on Friday.

"The United States Tennis Association has confirmed the venue to us. The tie will be held at Winston Salem in North Carolina," an All India Tennis Association official told Reuters.

The surface for the tie has not been announced, he said.

The winner of the Sept. 21-23 tie will qualify for the 2002 World Group, while the loser will compete in zonal group one competitions next year.

The United States were defeated 3-2 in Switzerland in the first round of the Davis Cup earlier this year. India completed 3-2 wins over China and Japan to advance to the qualifying round through zonal competition in Asia/Oceania Group 1.

The two teams last met in India in 1994, when the U.S. won 5-0.
