The Davis Cup final between Russia and Argentina will take place in Moscow's Olympic Stadium, subject to approval from the ITF event operations department, the International Tennis Federation said.

The Dec. 1-3 showdown will be the third time the final of the men's premier team event has been staged at the venue.

However, Russia will do well not to dwell on those ties as they lost both times, in 1994 and 1995, before capturing their first and only title with a dramatic 3-2 victory over France in Paris in 2002.
