Davis Cup

[ep2018]

We'll win it in doubles I reckon. Just a feeling.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Italy wins.

We really needed Popyrin to win the first rubber to have a chance. Sinner just too good.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Oh well. 2 years in a row we made the final.

 

[matt_897]

Yeah we had to win the 1st singles and then we would of been favourite in the doubles. Sinner just seems to be an awful matchup for Alex (as does every top player )

Still love the depth this team has at the moment

 

[FreoRicci]

Popyrin deserved to win. Didn’t take his chances.
Would’ve backed Australia to win doubles with Purcell and Ebden.
That sucks

 

[Galaxie77]

Cool Italy win. Keep it going now

 

[BobbyMorri]

Italy are very strong. That team screams multiple wins, if they can be bothered.

With all the footy finals excitement I completely forgot about Davis Cup. Looks like we've qualified for the next stage even though we lost to Spain.

Universal hatred for this current format it seems. I feared they have irreversibly damaged Davis Cup.

100%.
Just no space in the tennis season with so many tournaments. Just unfortunate. It’s a really patriotic tournament when it’s home and away format.

Yes, it's insane. needs to go back to a home and awayf ormat, either a 8 team draw or a 16 team draw but played over 2 years

Kokkankkis was great this week, loved the slow court conditions

Won’t ever go back.

Sponsorship, players burn out. Surprised Davis Cup still exist with Laver Cup and United Cup. Just meaningless cups happening.

Sometimes, less is better.

ITF has no reason to keep the current format. They are just too stubborn.
