00:00What's your take on the new changes to the Davis Cup, slightly closer to what we used to have?
00:04Not really, no.
00:06No, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors really.
00:12I've only had a quick look over it and I was only informed of it literally a couple of hours before it got announced to everyone else in the public.
00:19But yeah, the changes aren't ideal.
00:22The home and away factor's not.
00:24And also basically anyone that wants to buy their way to host the final can go through the February tie and also the September tie and go straight into the finals.
00:35And then there's only seven other spots left for everyone else.
00:38Yeah, I don't think it's on.
