If the big players are like Andy, and are stuck in one of the Zones, then yes, 15 points isn't much of an incentive. If you're in the World Group, however, it's a different story. 500 points for winners of singles final, with an additional 125 for a player who wins 8 "live" matches. I think most players would get out of bed for that! This team event could have a big impact on the individual rankings and Andy could be at a serious disadvantage because he's a strong player in a weak team. It hardly seems fair!

I see where he's coming from - Davis Cup has been for the players who genuinely want to play for their country, now we wont know which players genuinely give a sh*t for their country.
