Davis Cup Tennis

Great Britain will take on Austria in a crucial Davis Cup World Group Play-off tie at Wimbledon this autumn.

The two national teams will compete against each other between September 19th and September 21st on Court No 1, with the UK automatically qualifying to play in the 2009 World Group if it emerges victorious.

Some 127 nations take part in the Davis Cup - 16 of whom qualify for the World Group round robin finals.

This is just the fifth time a Davis Cup tie has been played at Wimbledon in the past three decades - the last one taking place in September 2007 when Great Britain beat Croatia 4-1.

Tennis fans wanting to attend the play-off can book tickets online here. One-day adult passes cost from £40 upwards, excluding booking fee, while full weekend passes start at £80.

YHA London Earl's Court is located seven miles north of Wimbledon, offering direct access to the venue via the District tube line.
