American Davis Cup captain Jim Courier would like to see even bigger changes to the team competition, calling for it to become an annual two-week competition.
The former world No. 1 called the current structure of Davis Cup a relic that is stopping the competition from being more popular.
"The problem for the Davis Cup is it's a tree falling in a forest, and not enough people are around to hear it or see it," Courier said, according to the AAP. “…It's not 1915 anymore. You have to be a little more aware of what the modern marketplace wants."
He pointed to long gaps between Davis Cup ties and their varied locations as a problem. The quarterfinals were just contested, but the semifinals will not be played until after the U.S. Open.
"People in America follow Davis Cup when we play in the States, but it's pretty hard for them to follow it [on the same days as golf's] Masters at 2 a.m. in the morning," said Courier.
