The Venezuelan Davis Cup team is holding its tie against the Bahamas in Miami.
It decided not to play the tie at home because of economic concerns in the country, instead moving it to Doral, Florida. But with an area population that is 17 percent Venezuelan, the team should still receive plenty of backing from the crowd.
The Bahamian team will have a local connection. One of its players is from Miami, and played for the University of Florida, but represents his father's home country.
The Americas Zone Group II tie winner will move to the next round of competition.
