Wawrinka’s harsh Davis Cup accusation: “Do you know they pay…”

The Davis Cup group stage closes the blinds this Sunday with a dispute on the last day that will end in the distribution of places that are still squeezed.

The balance cannot be said to be very good. The high number of casualties on the track and the low attendance of the public in the stands weighed heavily in a competition that has been tough for years, and the format change has irritated many tennis players.

This is the case of Stan Wawrinka, who at the beginning of the week had a good time with Gerard Piquéwhich he considers the main culprit in the decline of the tournament.

“Thanks to Gerard Piqué and the ITF“He wrote ironically on his Twitter account along with a video where empty stands were seen during the France-Switzerland match on the first day of Group B played in Manchester.

“Davis Cup Trivia Question: Did you know that the ITF pays people to support and make noise in each country during each match?“he denounced through social networks.

His words caused a stir and, indeed, He had to confirm his accusation on two occasions when Grigor Dimitrov’s coach, Daniel Vallverdú, and tennis player Noah Rubin asked him if it was true or if he was joking.

“100% confirmed“either”That’s true“Some of his responses to people’s disbelief.

We remember that Gerard Piqué, head of the Kosmos company, reached an agreement with the ITF in 2018 to manage the Davis Cup promising a revolution in the century-old competition with an idea in 25 years and an investment of 3 billion dollars.

Well, that agreement was unsuccessful and The ITF announced last year that it was violating the Kosmos agreementwhich returns to control a competition they hope to reform for 2024.
