EASTBOURNE, England (Reuters) - Former world number one and Romanian stalwart Simona Halep says she loves the current format of the Fed Cup and would boycott the competition if the 'home and away' format changes.

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) will make a "major announcement" about the women's competition later this week with the likelihood that it could follow the revamped Davis Cup and become a multi-nation event hosted in one city.
