The on-going Davis Cup Finals has again been hit with more problems, as players and coaches are at war with the new owners of the tournament, ex-Barcelona football star, Gerard Pique’s Kosmos Tennis.

The tournament had suffered several controversies since it took off in 2019.

After a two-year hiatus caused by COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament returned on Thursday with group stages holding in Madrid, Turin and Innsbruck. His country’s campaign is already in tatters as they suffered a 3-0 loss against Croatia in Italy yesterday. Australia, who has won the Davis Cup 28 times, takes on Hungary in a slim hope to qualify for the semi finals.

“I’ve been pretty vocal about the whole thing for the last four or five years now. This is a wonderful stadium here, but no crowd to watch, it’s not what Davis Cup is about. But despite his concerns, the two-time grand slam winner said there was no way he would consider boycotting the Davis Cup. “I haven’t ever thought about boycotting Davis Cup or matches for our country. It’s lost something really special about it but these guys get an opportunity to wear the green and gold and the chance to play for Australia,” he said in an on-court interview.
