I've been following this since the start of the year when they first started changing policy. But I don't detect what's new this week.

What are you seeing specifically that changed this week? I've been following the policy changes that have been laid out starting in January.

That was a mess. It’s embarrassing that Austria qualified for the finals and the U.S. couldn’t be bothered to show some heart.

I mean, I wouldn’t pick ADF because he hasn’t played a Davis Cup match in two years and he’s 1-5 in Davis Cup play.

Still, it’s a disadvantage to have four players. They may overcome that disadvantage, but it’s still a disadvantage.

You do realize I’m agreeing with you, right? Take yes for an answer. 😅

For the record, here’s what I wrote at the time…

I mean, cause and effect here. Ferrer chose to exclude ADF (twice!) and stick to four players (the only team to do so) and ADF was a little bratty.

But, to be clear, I didn’t mention ADF. I just said one less player. 😅

I was looking forward to a third set between two guys in their mid-30s competing for their countries. 🫤

Up 6-1 in the tiebreak. Then loses 7 straight points.

I like him quite a bit. But until just a few games ago, this match was a snooze fest.

Earlier today, they added links to the live scores and schedule on the tournament page

Yeah, I was speaking more about results, a live draw, etc. It’s a mess.

It’s wild all the ways in which they’ve gotten this wrong.
