France with Monfils and Paire at the ATP Cup, like last year

An image from an ancient time -

You don't change a losing team.

France will go to the ATP Cup with Gaël Monfils and Benoît Paire, eliminated in the first round last year in a tournament which crowned Djokovic's Serbia against Nadal's Spain (surprising finalists, isn't it? ).

The two best players in the world will also still be present in Melbourne.

The only star missing from the bill being… Nick Kyrgios, yet a local on the stage.

Nonstop entertainment 🤩
