Hewitt criticizes new Davis Cup format after defeat to Italy
Australian tennis team captain Lleyton Hewitt After losing to Italy in the Davis Cup final, he criticized the new format of the tournament, which he found to be more boring than the previous one.
“It was a great week for our game and we gave ourselves that opportunity. [выиграть титул].
Malaga organized a great event but their hands are tied as to what they can do with the format they have. There’s no home court or five-set format, so not everything is perfect.
To be honest, we are playing on a surface that I am tired of playing on. This is not what is needed in the Davis Cup. Davis Cup is a game played on clay, grass and outdoors.
Frankly, Davis Cup doesn’t have such a variety of surfaces and conditions anymore, especially in the big matches,” Hewitt said.
Please note that the last Davis Cup tournament was played on indoor hard courts.
