MADRID - The Davis Cup Finals schedule was thrown into chaos on Wednesday as, for the second day running, the challenge of fitting in six ties in a day at La Caja Magica proved almost impossible.
The tie between Italy and the United States did not even start until 1:25 a.m. due to the late-running of the day matches and was further prolonged by tiebreaks in all three matches, ultimately ending past 4 a.m. Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski then beat Wesley Koolhof and Jean-Julien Rojer 6-4 7-6 but only after saving two set points in the second set. Had they not the Belgium and Australian fans outside in the drafty concourses would have been waiting even longer to cheer their teams on.
The re-jigged Davis Cup format effectively squeezes a competition in which “home and away” World Group ties were played in February, April and September into one hectic week at a neutral venue. Eighteen nations have assembled in Madrid with 25 individual ties to be played in seven days.
