Barcelona star Gerard Pique’s company backing £2bn Davis Cup revolution into 18-nation World Cup
ITF announce proposals with Kosmos, who are fronted by the Spanish ace, to stage a one-week, 18-nation tournament

TENNIS is planning a Davis Cup revolution in a £2billion revamp backed by Barcelona star Gerard Pique.

From as soon as next year, the plan is to stage a one-week, 18-nation World Cup of Tennis Finals at the end of the season to decide the winners of the famous trophy lifted by Andy Murray and Great Britain in 2015.

The International Tennis Federation stunned the sport by announcing proposals for a 25-year partnership worth more than £2billion with Kosmos, the investment company founded and fronted by Barca defender Pique.

Kosmos is backed by Hiroshi Mikitani, boss of Rakuten, the Tokyo-based e-commerce company which is Barcelona’s shirt sponsor.

Pique said: ““Kosmos is thrilled to join in this exciting partnership with the ITF. Together we can elevate Davis Cup by BNP Paribas to new heights by putting on a must-see World Cup of Tennis Finals featuring the top nations and top players.”

The Davis Cup has been crying out for years for change, with the best male players in the world like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal often refusing to play because of its demanding format.
