The entire Australian tennis federation was suspicious about such radical cuts and gave its best to halt the Cosmos Group and their plans to turn Davis Cup into something it never was in the past.
Australia was overwhelmed during the voting process last August in Orlando, Florida, and the newly-formed Davis Cup is about to kick-off next Friday, despite a general opinion it will not gather the best players. The Australia Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt has been one of the most vocal opponents of the new Davis Cup but he accepts his team has to embrace the challenge and give its 100% against Bosnia to reach the finals and get a chance to play for the title.
I dont know how this Davis Cup format is going to go, I really dont, . My goal is just to get through Adelaide and get ourselves the best opportunity of going to the final.
Well work out what the best plan of attack is for the final, but we have eight or nine months to do that if we can get there. I would like to think that its going to be a feature piece where a lot of the top players are going to play, but Ive heard rumors that they may not either.
For me, I will be fielding as strong an Australian team as we possibly can. For me, its still representing Australia. Its wearing the green and gold. I have guys that would do anything to do that. Were going to use that as our cultural standards, playing for Australia.
Were going to do everything to win.
