Lopez defends the Davis Cup: "The absence of Sinner and Alcaraz is not specific to this competition"
Italy and Spain faced off in the Davis Cup final this Sunday. This matchup could have offered a new match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Unfortunately, the two players did not play in this competition.
Feliciano Lopez, Davis Cup director, wanted to defend his tournament: "I think the fact that the best players do not participate in all the major global tennis tournaments affects all of us, across all tournaments. The schedule is overloaded.
There are too many tournaments. It is very difficult for them to participate in all of them. This is not specific to this competition, to the Davis Cup. It is a phenomenon that occurs all year long in most major global tennis tournaments."
