Gerard Pique: Lionel Messi is part of Kosmos for Davis Cup project
Kosmos founder Gerard Pique feels confident about the success of the new Davis Cup format. In an interview to BBC, Pique revealed that his FC Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi supports Kosmos too. "Leo Messi, for example, is a good fan of tennis. And then we have Ivan Rakitic, who followed Croatia to winning the Davis Cup this last year. He is part of the company. We are part of a club in Andorra, and he is part of that also," said Pique. He doesn't have much of a role. He likes to have his opinion and follow everything, but not in a major position. But it's very exciting for me to have him because I know him since I was 13 years old. I am very proud that he is happy to be part of this," said Pique.
Several top players like Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev are set to miss the event but Pique is confident things will change: "I'm positive about it. It will be very difficult to convince everyone the first year, but our idea is that this is a long way to go. We understand that we are new in this tennis world, and we want to respect everyone and how the calendar is structured right now. We don't want to have any conflict whatsoever with any other part of tennis. We are proud that we are in November. We know that the players will be very tired. We pray that they will be fit."
