Very interesting, I would like to hear more in time, especially once they've given up on that substitution nonsense   

Clearly the calendar is already very crowded and I would not at this stage want the Davis Cup devalued in favour of some over-gimiky "with it" replacement.

Tennis works, to my mind for many reasons it has an almost ideal scoring system. That actually includes the tiebreak where the first to 7 points, breaks after each 6 points has a great symmetry re serving / ends etc, that i don't see much point in changing to first to 5 ( though that would be one of the least of my worries ).

I also note the RR element.  Now are they going to be prepared with folk that are competent in a little fairly basic basic arithmetic and can ideally do their calculations in advance ?  To save the authorities from any more of the unwelcome publicity they got from their O2 incompetence, I am quite wlling to be employed to fly to whatever necessary exotic part of the world for some not totally obscene salary, to do the neceasary sums
