What a load of crap- people want to be the best and gain recognition for it. Look at Cadel Evans - could not get out of his own way in the Tour de France however 2 months later - headlines were-28 Sep 2009 ... Cadel Evans has become Australia's first cycling road-race world champion, winning Sunday's event in Mendrisio, Switzerland. This has brought him a new team etc.. a very important factor for him.. The World Cup of tennis may never overtake Wimbleton but it would become prestige in its own right.

Yep- maybe play 3 setters in many cities in Europe- such as Paris, Wimbleton, and maybe another major city.It is so easy to get to each one. The final in a seperate city again. Intersting to note that this is Hird's one suggestion. He has been sitting on it awhile. Got definate merit- as long as players,say 7 out of top 10 say yes, others will follow.Also spectators will have to think it is brilliant along with television.

High Tower thanks for providing the link.

These are classified as major country events/ tournaments(GRAND SLAMS). These will not be taken over by the World Cup.We will have to wait and see what the players say.However, indications are it will be different as below: HOW IT WOULD WORK * Tournament would be played once every two years. * 10 day event with 32 teams in eight groups of four, with 16 reaching the elimination stages. * Each tie to feature a single match over the best of five sets - with each player having to field at least two players, allowing for mid-match substitutions. * Maximum of 25 seconds between points * Tiebreaks to be the first to five points

Article in the Herald Sun outlining Hird's vision--http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/james-hirds-vision-for-tennis-world-cup/story-e6frf9io-1225818786859 Would it work---your opinions please.

I have just watched the highlights of this unbelievable big athlete. This young man could be anything- actually could end up a megaSTAR.Best recruit in this draft or at least the potential. Unbelievable- are our midfielders going to LOVE this hulk. Gawnie go and get them- after making sure your recovery is definate.

We want you to become the biggest and the best- 5 more cms & 21 more kls. However, the kilos to turn to muscle. Great future all ahead of you- work your butt off and you will get there. Jimmy Stynes will keep an eye on you. Best of luck with recovery.
