The break with the WTA about the Fed Cup and the criteria for eligibility for the Olympic Games for Rio 2016 is not a concern for the ITF. The players who want to participate in the next Olympic Games in Brazil will take part in three meetings of the Fed Cup in 2012-2016.
"For years we did not have an agreement with the ATP about the Davis Cup," said ITF spokesman Kris Dent. "Our priority is to strengthen the Fed Cup more and more and we are succeeding as tickets for the final in Prague were sold out in six hours."
