Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal urge organisers of ATP Cup and Davis Cup Finals to consider a possible merger
The ATP Cup, which begins on Friday, will feature 24 nations contesting in Perth, Brisbane and Sydney over 10 days for the first time and will give the top men’s players a solid platform to prepare for the Australian Open.
“That’s not going to happen next year... but if the two sides, the ITF, the Davis Cup, and the ATP get together very quickly, it can happen possibly for 2022. “For me personally that’s not the ideal situation for our sport, but that’s how it works today and I’m very excited that we can change that in the future,” said Nadal, who won a fifth Davis Cup title with Spain in November.
Australian Open holder Djokovic will make his ATP Cup debut for Serbia against South Africa in Brisbane on Saturday while Nadal will lead Spain into action against Georgia in Perth on the same day. With Brisbane hosting matches in the ATP Cup, next week’s Brisbane International will be a women’s only tournament while the Sydney International - one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world dating back to 1885 - has also gone missing.
