LONDON: The International Tennis Federation says the Davis Cup match between India and Australia will take place in Chennai as originally planned despite security concerns voiced by the visitors.
The second-round tie in Asia-Oceania Group 1 will take place on 8-10 May.
In a statement released the Davis Cup Web site, the ITF said Chennai was approved by the Davis Cup Committee following "a positive report from the ITF's security consultants."
Australian tennis officials had sought a change of venue amid heightened concerns about security for sports events on the Indian sub continent, following a terror attack on the Sri Lanka cricket team in Lahore, Pakistan last month.
