London - Next month's Davis Cup final between Argentina and Spain will be played indoors at Mar del Plata after a Friday ruling from the International Tennis Federation. The Argentines, finalists for the third time in the worldwide team event but still without a trophy, had offered the Atlantic coast city as well as the provincial centre of Cordoba, hometown of their player David Nalbandian, as possible venues. The hosts have chosen fast indoor hardcourt in hope of thwarting Spain's clay-court ace Rafael Nadal in the November 21-23 tie. The Davis Cup committee made the decision in a conference call after 'careful consideration of the plans proposed by the Argentine Tennis Association and the site visit reports made by ITF Representatives.' The site will need to have seats added to bring the capacity up to the required 12,000 spectators.
