Gerard Pique, the Spain and Barcelona soccer has proposed a new World Cup-style tennis tournament this week. The world’s top players including Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have all voiced their support for this proposal.
The soccer met with ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) chief Chris Kermode and others this week at the Madrid Open to discuss about his idea of establishing a 16-team knockout competition which would be held at a single place for more than 10 days.
Supporter Nadal, the 14-time Grand Slam winner, stated that the International Tennis Federation has been static for many years.

Speaking in this regard, Djokovic, stated that the footballer’s interest in tennis is fantastic. The Serbian also added though tennis is a really complicated sport, the proposal is good for it.
