Davis Cup: new rules penalise Monaco

The Davis Cup rules on promotion and relegation were recently changed in a way that penalises a number of countries, including Poland, Luxembourg and Monaco. The new rule states that the decision on whether a team will be promoted to the next group up, be relegated or stay where they are will now be made on the basis of the national rankings. Since the announcement, the Monegasque Tennis Federation has received many expressions of support.
