Players, I both at present and in the past have been a coach for, and as I believe, has the potential to bring the Davis Cup team up in the top of the world elite.

“We have taken a decision that the time for a move is the right thing.”
B. T. have been in contact with a Davis Cup player, who does not want to comment on the matter publicly, but that does not put the hide to the DTF’s grabbing the termination of Kenneth Carlsen gives the public the opportunity for speculation.
