DRAWS MADE FOR 2016 DAVIS CUP BY BNP PARIBAS
10sBalls_com says it’s cruel that the 2015 teams just played the semis. Now the Brits play the Belgians in a few weeks (end of November) for the 2015 championships(Finals) .. And then they need to go play Japan in March in Japan. Right before Indian Wells and Miami. The Belgians are due to play Croatia. It’s truly cruel. You fight so hard. And barely digest the victory dinner when you need to win it or defend it straight away again. It’s just not right !
The 2015 winner should be sitting pretty wsiting till next November to play the ” Challenger ” match.
