MADRID - From the moment the International Tennis Federation agreed in 2018 to a radical makeover of the historic Davis Cup, opinion among players, pundits and fans has been divided.
Others, including ITF president David Haggerty and Gerard Pique, whose Kosmos Tennis company are bankrolling the revamped competition to the tune of $80 million every year for 25 years, say it marks a new, exciting chapter. Nadal’s presence in Madrid was a no-brainer and the Spaniard played like a man possessed, winning eight of eight matches to lead Spain to the title.
French fans, usually Davis Cup diehards, boycotted the event in protest at the new format, with doubles player Pierre Hugues-Herbert joking after the team’s group clash with Japan that it was the first time he had heard himself sing La Marsellaise.
