Czech tennis chief bemoans “death” of Davis Cup

The head of the Czech Tennis Federation, Ivo Kaderka, has come out strongly against a radical overhaul of the Davis Cup. From next year the international team competition will be decided by a season-ending, 18-team tournament at a neutral site.

In an interview with news site iDnes.cz, Mr. Kaderka described Thursday’s approval of the changes as the “execution” of the Davis Cup. He said the competition had “died” due to the immense stupidity and greed of people attempting to acquire more power and money.
