BNP Paribas is no longer title-sponsoring Davis Cup. It had done so for the past 17 years.

Kosmos Tennis, the new Davis Cup partner, will do its own new deals for the event.

BNP Paribas will continue title sponsoring the Fed Cup, Junior Fed & Davis Cups and Wheelchair event.
9:01 AM - 22 Mar 2019

Come across the schedule - http://www.andyschoolermedia.com/2019/03/21/davis-cup-finals-2019-schedule-results-draw-groups-standings-order-of-play/

Seen the tournament starts on the Monday, the day after the Tour Finals. Did no-one think starting later might be a good idea?? Looking at the schedule for Monday there are many potential players who could qualify for tour finals.

 It's crazy isn't it  I saw this on DC site a few days ago. They've 3 courts it seems and gb have two afternoon sessions on the 3rd court, clearly don't expect Andy to play ! 

Of the 3 show courts in Madrid, court 3 is my favourite.  It is where the fans can get closest to the action and creates the best atmosphere.

Finals tickets are now on sale, I just looked and I could easily buy tickets for our first matches vs Netherlands and Kazakhstan on 20/21 November for 72 euros each.

I think if andy is playing singles only, then jamie and neal have to be selected, indy convinced me. In which case cam or Kyle? Tough choice neither convincing over the other

 Cam over Kyle, Dan over them both.

 I would agree, Cam over Kyle and take 2xdubs specialists. Kedders is such a conundrum. He recently beat Dan and Cam convincingly one after the other to then under perform in the next round. He seemed to get up for a familiar contest he knew he could win, then lose his way very quickly afterwards. I hear he is wanting his former coach Rosengren back. He's not consistent enough to deserve the berth, unfortunately. Tough call for Leon but then Murray's return is the silver lining.

 But door open to choose 5th player later, ie Kyle if he shows better form over next two weeks or Cam if not.
