Neither competition in its latest reincarnation was perfect. Matches in Madrid finished very late. Matches in Australia are played in a different timezone to much of the rest of the world. It was hard to be totally invested in either. And Hopman Cup is gone.

If so, why did you participate in this competition? I don't think you would say the same thing, if your team would have won the tournament.
