The ITF has announced record prize money increases for Fed Cup by BNP Paribas for 2019. Next season the 16 teams contesting World Group and World Group II will compete for $7.5 million, up from $3.7 million in 2018.
To be honest I never ever attended a full weekend of Davis Cup. So that is why I needed to take my parents as they also never experienced this phenomenon.
Proposed drastic changes to the Davis Cup competition were announced by the International Tennis Federation earlier this week.
David Haggerty was elected ITF President at the ITF Annual General Meeting in Santiago, Chile on Friday. The 58-year old from the United States succeeds Francesco Ricci Bitti, whose 16-year term as ITF President ends today.
The US Open has responded positively to player pressure and continued threats of boycotts and by 2017 the total amount of prize money will reach $US 50 million, effectively doubling the amount offered last year.
