SYDNEY: Canadian Denis Shapovalov called on the organisers of the Davis Cup Finals and the ATP Cup to work together to create one world championship, saying it felt"weird" to play two similar events back to back.
The 20-year-old Shapovalov played brilliantly to lead Canada to it first Davis Cup final where they eventually went down to Rafa Nadal's Spain. "It would be great just to have one event that is a world championship," he told reporters in Brisbane on Wednesday."A month ago we played the world championship and now it feels like we are playing another one."It would be great if they could organise and make one big event, make it a unique and special tournament. Hopefully they can come to terms together and make something happen.
Both Pique and Novak Djokovic, the president of the ATP's Player Council, have in the past said the two event cannot co-exist and a solution must be found.
