What will survive? Hopman Cup (Jan), ATP World Cup (Jan), Laver Cup (Sep), ITF World Cup (Davis Cup)

What will survive? Hopman Cup (Jan), ATP World Cup (Jan), Laver Cup (Sep), ITF World Cup (Davis Cup) (Dec).

I mean at least 2 of these will die. They all pretty much overlap.

For the benefit of tennis, I hope the Davis Cup.
You can’t compare serious competitions to exhibitions.

All cups brake eventually. Our favorite cups tend to get chipped sooner.

You got 2 exhos in there alongside a serious team competition with a 100yr history and a new idea that hasn't seen the light of day.

Tough to compare just yet.

I think the exhos survive just because they have the luxury of catering to changing market needs and fit busy player schedules better. Laver cup for example can go to under-served yet wealthy potential markets like Chicago and feature the best players whom crowds want to see, in a friendly-while-still-competitive format that can't be replicated by Davis cup.

I dont understand the Laver Cup really

Was it really necessary to add to the schedule as a yearly thing

In golf, the Ryder Cup alternates with the Presidents Cup.

Problem is that they all take time and energy for players to participate in, regardless of whether they are exhibitions or not.

If, for instance the ATP gets its way and there is an International Nations tournament in Australia before the Australian Open - how many players are also going to want to play the Hopman cup at the exact same time?

I don't think players spend even 40% of their energies on Hopman Cup.
There's no need for an anual Laver Cup, but they're trying to milk every drop from Fed as they can.
And I'm not sure if this "new Davis cup" will survive for long.

I like the Hopman Cup, Perth is a great location for it, the timing is right. Think it will survive.

I think only the ATP Cup Is going to survive .

Ultimately this is an individual sport and players need points .

Once Fed leaves , Laver Cup cannot pay that much appearance fee and private jets to participants
