Seven First-Round Davis Cup Matches Postponed
Seven Davis Cup first-round series, including the world-group matches between France and Israel, were postponed Monday because of the war in the Persian Gulf.
The International Tennis Federation also announced that the series between defending champion United States and Mexico is under review for security reasons but remains scheduled Feb. 1-3 in Mexico City.
The ITF, tennis’ ruling body, said that in addition to France-Israel, scheduled for Marseilles, France, those matches postponed include Bangladesh at Bahrain, Syria at Sri Lanka, Kuwait at Singapore, Saudi Arabia at Malaysia, Senegal at Egypt and Ivory Coast at Algeria.
All of the postponed matches were scheduled for Feb. 1-3 except the Algeria match, which was set for Jan. 30-Feb. 1.
The Israel-France series has been tentatively rescheduled for March 29-31, the ITF said.
