Forget Gets Davis Cup Contract Extension

Guy Forget will be the French Davis Cup captain for the next two years.

The French Tennis Federation (FFT) confirmed that the 45-year-old has been retained for the position he has held since 1999.

Forget has guided the team to four finals, including in 2001 when France won the title. This year they were runners-up to Serbia, going down 3-2 in Belgrade, Serbia, a week ago.

“After leading Les Bleus to the 2010 Davis Cup final, Guy Forget has been confirmed as captain for the next two years,” the FFT said in a statement.

France will begin its 2011 campaign with a first-round match against Austria in Vienna in March.
