Relaunch of World Team Cup slammed

French Open director Guy Forget on Tuesday slammed the ATP's plans to restart the World Team Cup, saying it could hurt the fortunes of the historic Davis Cup.

The International Tennis Federation last month announced a plan to run the Davis Cup - traditionally played over four weekends spread across the season - over a single week in November, starting next year.

But the ATP is hoping to revive the World Team Cup, to be played for the first time in eight years in January 2020 - possibly only two months after the Davis Cup.
