Rafael Nadal has given his thoughts on the ATP Cup and Davis Cup events and he admitted that everything should be combined and together and that there shouldn't be more than one event in the calendar.

Nadal said that despite not being able to speak for others, there should be one big competition and that it should be the Davis Cup due to it's rich history in the sport.

"I don't see two World Cups in one month on our calendar,

That's something that I personally don't see. I cannot talk for the ATP. I cannot talk for other players. But, personally, we have an opportunity to finally have a great competition. It's important, in my opinion, to share efforts between ATP and ITF.

And at the same time, have an important company that is able to work hard to bring this competition to the next level, like Kosmos. So if you're asking my -- I cannot talk for the others -- but my personal opinion is, there is no other way than have only one big, big competition.

ATP, ITF, Kosmos, Davis Cup, World Cup. Doesn't matter the name. I think Davis Cup is the right name because it's part of the history of our sport. And it will be great if we are able to put everything together."
