French players don't like the new Davis Cup format and they're saying it loud and clear
French players don't like the new Davis Cup format and they're saying it loud and clear
26 November 2018
After failing to defend their title in Lille in a 3-1 loss to Croatia, the French have lashed out at future plans adopted earlier this year and Lucas Pouille says he will boycott the competition from now on.
This weekend marked the last time in the 118-year-old competition history that the final was played in a best-of-five matches format and over a three-day weekend.
Starting next year, the top team event in men's tennis will be decided with a season-ending, 18-team tournament at a neutral site.
Pouille says last year he was crying of joy and this year he's crying because he's sad and won't be changing his mind about the new format and won't play Davis Cup anymore.
TENNIS WITH CROWN FORKLIFTS. WHEN IT COMES TO FORKLIFTS, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A CROWN.
