Sports arena to host Fed Cup final in November The tennis world will have an eye on the San Diego Sports Arena this November. On June 29, the U.S. Tennis Association announced that the local venue will host the 2010 Fed Cup final, the biggest team event in women’s tennis. The U.S. hasn’t hosted a Fed Cup Final since 2000 and San Diego was one of 10 cities nationwide the put in a bit for the event. The sports arena also hosted a Davis Cup tie in 1989, making it only the eighth U.S. venue to host the men’s and women’s tennis equivalent of the World Cup. The city has hosted a Fed Cup event before in 2008, when the U.S. beat Germany in the 2008 quarterfinals in La Jolla. The U.S. team is 7-0 all-time in California. In the final on Nov. 6-7, the U.S. will host Italy in a rematch of the 2009 finals, which the host Italians won 4-0. The U.S. team currently leads all nations with 17 Fed Cup titles, with the last championship coming in 2000. Tickets are expected to go on sale for the event in August.
