Bolton Arena will be the venue for Great Britain's 2011 Davis Cup opener against Tunisia, the Lawn Tennis Association announced today.
Team GB will be fancied to claim a straightforward victory at home in the Europe/Africa Group II meeting regardless of whether world number four Andy Murray makes himself available for the March 4-6 tie.
''It's a great choice of venue for us,'' said Great Britain captain Leon Smith.
''We've always had fantastic support in the north-west, and Bolton Arena will no doubt generate a passionate atmosphere, and provide the ideal stage for the match against Tunisia.''
Great Britain will need to secure three wins next year to secure promotion back to Europe/Africa Group I.
Victory over their African opponents would see them face Luxembourg or Ireland in the second round.
