Davis Cup Finals: Organisers say ‘discussions’ will be held over tournament future

Both Alcaraz and Sinner have suggested they would be in favour of making the Davis Cup a biennial event.

International Tennis Federation (ITF) chief executive Ross Hutchins told BBC Sport he will consult the sport’s top players to explore what the tournament can do to encourage their participation in the final major event of the season.

“The history of this event is a very, very popular team competition which has been – consistently across the last 125 years – a yearly event,” Hutchins said.

“We have a three-year deal in Bologna, which we are very excited about. Malaga worked very well the last few years as a season-end product – top players playing, amazing narratives – so the question is what’s right moving forward.

“I do have very close relations with the top players and the governing bodies, so I’m going to be having discussions about their points of view.

“We know what’s been written, and what’s been said, so inevitably I will have those conversations and we can take it from there.”
