"I've seen some of those comments Djokovic made and I think that's been the intention of the ITF and the Davis Cup Committee all along, to have consultation with players," Woodforde, the Davis Cup Committee Chair, told Reuters via phone. The ATP is more player oriented, the ITF or Davis Cup is about teams and countries and that's also a priority for the Davis Cup Committee." It's not just the Davis Cup, it affected the tennis world and a lot of sports. We take on board, we've had revisions even over the years since we brought about the change of format." I think the Davis Cup is probably more judged on those days where the host country isn't playing."

3 seeds, Ram and Salisbury also won the 2020 Australian Open. But this title may have been just as unexpected after they rebounded from a difficult year to win the final major of the circuit. They had won only one previous tournament this year, the Lyon Open in France in May, and were 4-6 in their last 10 matches coming into the U.S. Open. But none of those duos were able to string together three straight at the U.S. Open, the last major of the calendar year. In the men’s singles, three Americans made it to the final eight, and Ben Shelton reached a semifinal, where he lost to No.

☆ 'Heartbreaking', Woodbridge bemoans Wimbledon doubles decision
  + stars: | 2023-01-26 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
MELBOURNE, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Nine-times Wimbledon men's doubles champion Todd Woodbridge said on Thursday it was "heartbreaking" to hear the All England Club had made the decision to cut the event to best-of-three sets rather than five from this year. "Five sets lets the best team win generally in that situation." Woodbridge won six Wimbledon men's doubles titles with compatriot Mark Woodforde in the duo known as the "Woodies" before teaming up with Swede Bjorkman for another three. American Mike Bryan, who with sibling Bob formed the most successful professional doubles team of all time, also bemoaned the decision. The 2022 Wimbledon men's doubles final took more than four hours to complete with Australian duo Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell beating Croatians Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic over five sets.
