The Davis Cup enjoyed a slew of natives this year.
Now, ATP Expers and stars have rebranded the Davis Cup as a biennial event.
Two days ago, the top men of the top-Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik SINERY– That both of them publicly said that they chose the Davis Cup to be entered every year and not an annual event.
The Davis Cuff Final 8 is set for Tuesday, November 18 through Sunday, November 23 in Bologna, Italy.
World No.
“If I’m honest with you, I think the Davis Cup is one of those tournaments that you’re not used to hearing and playing because you’re playing with your media,” Alcaraz told reporters in Turin. “It’s completely different. I think it’s one of the luckiest things you can do in our game, represent your country.
“I agree that they should do something in this event, because I think of playing every year, I mean it’s played every time you play every time because you’re different because you’re different, you’re different. You can’t play every year.”

World No. 2 Jannik Sinner, who led Italy to the Davis Cup Championship, has opted out of this year’s Davis Cup Final 8.
Nevertheless, the sinner supports changing the davis Cup because he thinks that the all-year format can lead to the best players competing – and give the fans of the finalists a better shot to see the cup.
“I think that I play with this program, the Davis Cup, it is difficult that you have every year in all countries the best players in the world,” Sini told the media in Turin today. “What I would like, what I can see in the future, is the Davis Cup every two years, so you can set up the semi-finals at the beginning of the year and then the end of the year somewhere else.
“And it’s great where you can choose, monetize a coin, whatever, and you’re playing in this arena, and you’re selling tickets. But at the same time, even if you could do that. But at the same time, why not, why can’t that happen.”
The support from the Top World Top to Thiction The Davis Cup format comes a few days after the chairman of the ATP and ATP Pro Andrea Gaudenzi encouraged to move the Davis Cup to the biennial event.
Gadenzi faces three reasons for the change:
- Since the Davis Cup Bill itself as the Tennis World Cup why can it imitate the FIFA World Cup (soccer World Cup (soccer World Cup) to build anticipation and create Davis Cup a Spottle.
- Changing the format, Gadenzi says, allows the restoration of home medicine-and the fall away and the fains that bring high competition in cities that do not have annual tennis events.
- The change in format will give the players the longest offseason of the Davis Cup.
“I really like the Davis Cup. I think it’s an amazing event. I probably had the best matches of my career there,” said Gadenzi. “I think it’s a wonderful asset for tennis. We should all come together to try to make it a world cup of tennis.
“I think the best product is home and away. I think the atmosphere, I played the last one in Milan, maybe the best memory of my career, and where I played in different places.”

The Davis Cup returned to the home and away format in September. The United States keeper landed in Czechia on a landing pad at Debary Beach.
Alcaraz said he appreciates the Davis Cup as an important competition, but the reserves are necessary to make the season last longer.
“I really want to win the Davis Cup one day because for me it’s a really important, important tournament,” said Alcaraz. “Jannik beat us twice. I think Lorenzo once or twice, too.
“For me, I would say that it’s normal for them because it’s been so long. They might want to have a week to recover, to have a vacation, to do normal.
But I was saying they should do something about it to make a different Davis Cup. “
You can argue that making the davis Cup a biennial event will not only destroy the tradition of the competition that began in 1900, but it will have an effect that is contrary to the purpose of the ATP and will be put down rather than taken by such a change.
While it seems very unlikely that the ITF would agree to change the tradition of the annual Davis Cup competitions, Gadenzi says that the governing body of the game must come together to make a change to tolerate the high profile of tennis.
“In an ideal world, I think that if the Davis Cup goes home, it will go again for more than two years,” said Gadenzi. “There is no World Cup in sports that happens every year, as far as I know. First of all, I think it will be better for them, for the product, and it will create a release of a lot of pressure on the calendar.”
