The Argentine Tennis Association (AAT) has requested a change in venue for its Davis Cup playoff tie against Israel in September.
With the tie scheduled to be played at Tel Aviv, the AAT says it has security concerns about the region because of the growing conflict in Gaza.
"We are concerned. We have communicated with the ITF, which promises to make a decision about Davis Cup by Friday," said AAT president, Arturo Grimaldi, speaking to sports channel TyC Sports.
There were "two possibilities" if the location of the tie is changed, he said. "One is that Israel will give up home advantage if we cede ours in future. The other is that the location is changed to Greece [Athens] or Cyprus."
The association's preference would be for a home tie. "The ideal would be to play at Buenos Aires, but this is a distant possibility," said Grimaldi. "The ITF does not usually make such decisions."
However, added Grimaldi, the Argentine team will play the tie wherever the ITF decides. "We will wait till Friday and if they say the tie is in Tel Aviv, we will [play]," he said.
