"I definitely stand for a change of format of the Davis Cup," said 12-time Grand Slam title winner Djokovic. LONDON: World number one Novak Djokovic on Wednesday called for a football-style Davis Cup to help keep the 116-year-old tournament alive. Djokovic played in this year's first round win over Kazakhstan, taking part in three of the five rubbers over the weekend. Every match after that you need to play after either a Grand Slam or after a season finale. Djokovic inspired Serbia to its only Davis Cup triumph in 2010 but has, in common with many other top players, carefully selected which ties he will honour in a packed tour schedule.
