Like many, the old 53e World singles player Sam Groth is strongly opposed to Kosmos and Gérard Piqué’s plans to send the Davis Cup finals to Abu Dhabi for the next five years. The Australian goes even further by openly criticizing the position of some players like Novak Djokovic vis-à-vis this event.
“I can tell you that the kind of players who are going to show up at a 14 day event in Abu Dhabi are the ones who are currently defending the event. and who I’m sure get paid somehow to support what they call the Davis Cup Finals by Rakuten ”, Groth first told Wide World of Sports.
“It’s not the Davis Cup, but the players who are going to show up are exactly like Novak Djokovic, who spoke up to refute Lleyton’s comments that the tournament needs a change, that he must be adjusted and played in different cities, and that the finals must be held in a single city. I don’t know the facts, but I believe there is something going on with this group (Kosmos) that spends a lot of money and has big funders in Abu Dhabi. In addition, we must recognize that it is very contradictory to want a shorter season and at the same time to support a competition ending in mid-December. “
