BENGALURU (Reuters) -The International Tennis Federation believes the current Davis Cup format has strong backing in the game despite growing calls from top stars for the event to make a complete return to its roots, new Chief Executive Ross Hutchins told Reuters.
The traditional structure of home-and-away ties was scrapped in 2019 and even though elements of it were restored for earlier rounds of this year's competition, the grumbles continued into the concluding Final 8 tournament in Bologna this week.
