Andy Murray welcomes Davis Cup revamp but 'not sold' on venue plans

World number two Andy Murray says he is "not sold" on plans to let cities bid to stage the Davis and Fed Cup finals.

A revamp of the team tennis events has been put forward by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

Britain's Murray welcomed ITF proposals to shorten Davis Cup matches from best-of-five sets to best-of-three and stage finals over two days instead of three.

But he added: "The home and away aspect of the Davis Cup is something I enjoy and makes it different and special."

Other proposals include doubling the Fed Cup World Group to 16 teams to match the men's event.
