Davis Cup 2017 World Group R1 - Canada v Great Britain - 3-5 February


I hope Evo can wrap this up in Rubber4, I wouldn't back Kedders to beat his grandmother on this court..
Dubs prove to be pivotal.
Pospisil must have a sore leg now after 7sets in little more than a day. I wouldn't be surprised if Polanski plays instead after he visibly dropped his level in sets 3 and 4 today.

Dan loses the first set against Pospisil by 6-7(3) after almost going a double break up early on!

Second set follows the first down the pan:  3-6.  cry  It's beginning to look as though Kyle will have to be the cavalry... hmm

Maybe this puts a different perspective on Kyle's 1st match too.

Dan broken to love in the third game of the third set:  1-2*.  Game over, methinks. cry

I seem to remember that Dino had him on the ropes in a third round match at Wimbledon the year before last.  He led by two sets to one, only for the bloody Canuck to come back & win in five (just checked:  VP won it by 8-6 in the fifth)! hmm

Hats off the Pospisil, played a good game and indeed a good few days performance, held Canada together really - I enjoyed that match, wrong result but great atmosphere and I dont think Dan did a whole lot wrong against an inspired performance.

I forgot, but Pospisil not only won Wimbledon doubles in 2014 with Jack Sock, but also reached the Wimbledon quarters in 2015. He is clearly at home on a fast court and at the net. He doesnt seem to have done much on grass apart from the QF appearance in 2014 but it would be nice to see him use this a relaunch for the next year and maybe see him do well in GB when grass courts come around.

Meantime, lets hope Kyle can spoil his party!

GB loses the fourth rubber by 6-7(3) 3-6 6-3 6-7(5).  All square.  Over to Kedders.  Hope he has nerves of steel!

Dan's shot selection was questionable to say the least. Pospisil came up with some fantastic serving when under pressure.

The cavalry is doing all right so far:  Kyle leads by 6-3 6-4.  smile

Shap drops his service & unintentionally hits a shot in anger into the umpire's face afterwards & is defaulted (disqualified) at 1-2* in the third.  GB through to face France.  Weird.  Never seen that before! disbelief

Good job it wasn't a tighter match. Think young Denis will learn a few things from that match!
