Gerard Pique hopes Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will both play in the reformed Davis Cup next year.

The Barcelona star also insists that the “door remains open” to Roger Federer.

“I have spoken with all those players,” Pique said on Wednesday. “With Rafa it is very positive, if he does not have an injury he will be there.

“On Novak, if he has to choose between the two he says he will play the ATP tournament. I took the opportunity to talk to him because he represents the players and the meeting was very positive. I am confident we can reach an agreement.”

Federer however, is unlikely to participate as the 37-year-old carefully selects his tournaments these days, prioritising the four Grand Slam events.

Pique added: “Federer is at a point in his career in which he prioritises the most important tournaments. I have talked with his people and I have not closed any doors.”
