France to host Davis Cup final against Croatia in Lille

Paris - The French Tennis Federation announced on Monday that it was returning to Lille for the Davis Cup final on November 23-25.

France have twice before played Davis Cup finals on clay at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, the home ground of Ligue 1 club Lille.

Last year, the French beat Belgium in the final but in 2014 they lost to a Swiss team led by Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka.

The meeting with Croatia is a repeat of the football World Cup final in July which France won, 4-2, in Moscow.
