POSTED: 9:11 pm EDT May 13, 2008

(Sports Network) - The U.S. Davis Cup team will head to Madrid to play Spain in the semifinals from September 19-21.

The Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas in Madrid will be the site for the matches. Spain lost to the U.S. in the quarterfinals last year and will try to reach the final for the first time since winning the title in 2004, when it beat the Americans in Seville.

The Americans, who own a record 32 Davis Cup titles, won their first such championship in 12 years in 2007 by beating Russia in the finale in Portland.

The sites for the semifinals were revealed on Tuesday, also with Russia playing Argentina on clay at the Estadio Parque Roca in Buenos Aires. Argentina has won the last 12 Davis Cup ties on its home soil. Russia and Argentina last faced each other in the 2006 final when Russia scored a 3-2 victory in Moscow.
