Davis Cup: Ties to be played over three sets as part of ITF reform
Davis Cup matches are very likely to be played over three sets in future – and ties could last just two days.
The International Tennis Federation’s Board of Directors has unanimously endorsed a “package of comprehensive reforms” for both Davis Cup and Fed Cup at a meeting in Indian Wells.
The recommendations will have to be ratified by the ITF’s AGM in Vietnam in August.
Changes were discussed following a review of current match formats.
Any reform will require a formal vote of approval.
