But on the subject of the long season, have we hashed out why there seems to be no movement on the front of switching Davis Cup to an every-other-year, held in 2 weeks in one city format? Is it because of all the money that is raised in the current format? As with everything in this discussion, I'm assuming it's about the money, but just hadn't remembered this being brought up in a while.

Worst idea EVER. The only appeal of Davis Cup is an opportunity for every elite player to play at home at least once a year and for the public to see them.

But if you live in USA, France, Australia etc you probably won't understand...
