Nicolas Mahut (FRA): "To end up 2-0 in the locker room knowing that we were eliminated was not a very pleasant moment, but we had to go on the court." From the moment Seb trusted us It's still the team of France Five years ago, before my first selection, I would have given a lot to play even a game that did not count.I am disappointed because we lost and we stopped in chickens, on the format of the competition, there are positive things, in the organization, I had the impression to play the Olympic Games, after that there are many things to see if We want this competition to be a success.When we do a competition like this, it's always difficult to keep the traditions and to put modernity.I think the tradition they have completely trampled, it is not is not all that was the salt of the Davis Cup, and modernity, there are things to review. Onctionne, it takes more time: a week is too short, we can not afford to have two rotations per day and finish matches at 4am. The stadiums must be full for it to be a success, it was not. It is also necessary that our supporters come back, for us it is important. There is so much to see again, but you have to give them some time, a chance for success for this World Cup to be a success. When you make a football World Cup, whatever the match, the stadium is full. With the organization to make that the stages are full, that it is the festival everywhere.
