Rafael Nadal has called for a merger of the ATP and Davis Cup after his loss to Novak Djokovic, stating that having two world cups within such a short time was a "confusion for the spectators".
Nadal said he was unable to play in the doubles decider for his nation due to physical exhaustion, calling for a combination of the ATP and David Cup as a result.The world number one said he made the decision to negate the decider due to a lack of energy, citing the consecutive world cups as the reason for his exhaustion.
The decision to keep Nadal out of the double decider could prove to be fatal for Spain's ATP Cup dreams, who need the win to take out the entire ten-day competition.
sarah_keoghan He didn’t win against DjokerNole since 2013. Why does he even bother... He seems to be No. 1 only when Nole is not around...
