Nadal urges tennis organizers to compromise on one World Cup - Sportsnet.ca

SYDNEY, Australia — Rafael Nadal won a revamped Davis Cup in November and he lost Sunday’s final of the ATP Cup, the newest international team competition.After walking off following another hardcourt loss to Novak Djokovic, allowing Serbia to level the final after Roberto Bautista Agut won the opening singles for Spain, Nadal urged the men’s tennis tour and the sport’s international governing body to form one major team tournament.

Nadal withdrew from Spain’s doubles team for the deciding match, and Djokovic combined with Viktor Troicki to win it and clinch the final 2-1. “When I’m playing here, I’m not thinking about Melbourne, or when I’m playing in Monte Carlo I’m not thinking about Roland Garros,” Nadal said, rejecting the suggestion the tournament was too close to a Grand Slam event. “I think it’s a great competition. Excited to be part of it. Excited to represent my country.

Djokovic said at the Davis Cup in Madrid and at the start of the ATP Cup here that men’s tennis needs “one super World Cup event, whatever you want to call it.”

Too much is expected of tennis players nowadays...would the organisers like to be treated in the same way...I doubt it 🎾
