Australian tennis legend Todd Woodbridge says the revamped Davis Cup needs some serious changes ahead of next year's event.
Lleyton Hewitt's side was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Canada, with the Canadians eventually advancing to the final.
This year, for the first time ever, the Davis Cup finals were held in one city - Madrid in Spain.
Until 2019, the Davis Cup was traditionally a home and away event, like the Fed Cup.

Plenty of the world's top players have criticised the new format, with Woodbridge adding his thoughts on Channel 9's Sport Sunday.
"The tennis itself has been brilliant, the organisation has been abysmal," he said.
"From everything from IT issues to playing matches that are finishing at four in the morning.
"They're still out on court well after midnight in Madrid."
Woodbridge also said there was something amiss with the International Tennis Federation (ITF) already granting wildcards for next year's event.
"Today, the ITF go 'we're going to put in more wildcards,'" Woodbridge said.
"They've put in wildcards this week, for 12 months' time.
"You've gotta ask the question - Chris Clarey from the New York Times has asked the question - how can you do that?
"It looks like they're guaranteeing world number one Novak Djokovic a spot for next year.
"They're saying 'mate, we want you back next year. You can be there and you don't have to play the qualifying match earlier in the year.'
"Then France have also been put in. And you've gotta ask the question: the vice president of the ITF is also French and I'm sure he's had an influence in that discussion."
Finally, Woodbridge said the crowd attendance needs to be addressed if the tournament is to be a success going forward.
"They've got so many things to fix if it's going to be a success next year," he said.
"The biggest thing is crowds.
"We played our first match in front of about 400 people and that's a great disappointment."
