ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) on Wednesday said that after the defeat at the hands of South Korea in the Davis Cup they are on the lookout for a new player who can represent the country in the singles event of the Davis Cup in the coming future.
PTF, senior vice-president, Irshad Bhatti told APP on Wednesday that “we could have performed a lot better in the singles event of the tie.”
Bhatti said that there were two options available for upcoming tennis players.
“Firstly we can bring in a foreign player and provide him with a Pakistani nationality so that he can represent our country in future in Davis Cup or we could go to every part of Pakistan in search for a player who has the passion to play and can be improved, trained and polished by the PTF's assistance in future.”
Bhatti said that the Davis Cup requires fresh thinking and, ultimately, radical overhaul.
“We are giving our players too much time and space, allowing them to play their game. The PTF provided them with a foreign professional coach training camps but still if we get these kinds of results then we are not the ones to be blamed.
“We have been having discussions after this Davis Cup tie loss in the PTF and this is the idea have come up with to win,” Bhatti concluded.
