Ukraine's Belgium Davis Cup tie moved

The International Tennis Federation has announced Ukraine's home Davis Cup World Group tie against Belgium will be played in Tallinn in Estonia.

Ukraine will play their home Davis Cup World Group tie against Belgium in the Estonian capital Tallinn, world tennis' governing body announced on Tuesday.

The neutral venue was proposed by the Ukrainian Tennis Federation, who retained choice of ground after the tie was unable to be staged at home because of the ongoing political crisis.

The tie will be played on indoor hardcourt, the International Tennis Federation said.

The Ukraine-Belgium tie is one of eight World Group playoffs that will be held on September 12-14, alongside the two World Group semi-finals between France and the Czech Republic in Paris, and Switzerland and Italy in Geneva.

A second tie, between Israel and Argentina, is also to be held at a neutral venue - at Sunrise in Florida - because of the Gaza conflict.
