The inaugural Davis Cup Finals in Madrid is only a few weeks away, but organisers are struggling with ticket sales, especially morning sessions.
A spokeswoman for Kosmos told PA, via The Guardian: “We are happy with ticket sales for the afternoon sessions and from Friday until Sunday (quarter-finals, semi-finals and final) but it’s much more difficult to sell tickets for morning sessions, as happens in all tournaments.”
Metro.news adds “Out of 25 sessions at the Davis Cup have failed to reach 50 per cent ticket sales”.

“I’m lucky enough on a daily basis to see what sort of person she is and she’s a much better person than she is a tennis player. So, for me, that’s been the key.”
Not a good headline if you are Boris Becker as the Daily Mail reports his “bankruptcy is extended by 12 YEARS after authorities found he hid £4.5m in assets and transactions”.
