Novak Djokovic: “World Team Cup and Davis Cup cannot co-exist”

Novak Djokovic was re-elected as the president of the ATP Player’s Council and he definitely has a lot of responsibility towards the ATP tour. “It's great to have a superstar in football, you know, trying to do something different and innovative in our sport,” said the Serb. “Yes, we can have different opinions about the formats, but at least he loves the sport and he is showing goodwill, you know, to unite everybody and is trying to do something that so far hasn't been done in terms of Davis Cup and everything. “So we will see. I mean, obviously, the good thing is that we all want to work together. That's the ultimate, I think, the goal for all of us players and associations involved in our sport is to try to create one event, because, to be honest, at least in my opinion, there is no room for two big events. “World Team Cup and Davis Cup cannot co-exist on a high level, in my opinion, especially they are so close to each other. It might happen for Year 2 or 3, but sooner or later it has to be only one.” Analyzing his win over Alexander Zverev on Saturday, Djokovic added: “It was quite a strange match from his side. I mean, I know he can play much better than he did tonight. I don't know whether he had faced some issues physically or not, but he was just not there mentally. You could see that he played a poor quality tennis match. From my end, I tried to just focus on what I need to do. I felt I executed it well.” Source-tennisworldusa.org
