France and Britain Davis tie on Apr. 7

France’s Davis Cup quarterfinal tie against Britain will take place on clay in Rouen, French Tennis Federation said.

France won 4-1 in Japan to reach this stage while Britain triumphed 3-2 in Canada when Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov forfeited the deciding rubber after firing a ball into the umpire’s face. The quarterfinal tie, on a surface where Britain has rarely excelled, will take place from April 7-9.
