Canada vs México – Davis Cup tie Doubles Match Preview (Raonic / Pospisil)
The Match
Milos RAONIC and Vasek POSPISIL of Canada will be taking on Luis DIAZ-BARRIGA and Miguel-Angel REYES-VARELA of México today in a little under 3 hours from now (coverage starts at 3:00 pm ET). They will be playing to get a 2:1 lead over Mexico in their 3-day Davis Cup tie matchup at Club Deportivo La Asuncion, Estado de Mexico, Mexico.
Raonic showed yesterday that he was able to carry on his successes in Melbourne, San José, and Memphis onto the clay courts this weekend. The Canadian team is the favorite in the tie considering the singles rankings - all Mexican players are outside the top 400 and all the Canadian players within (in this case: Raonic is #37 and Pospisil is at #346).

It’s a bit of a bummer that Daniel Nestor had to pull out due to injury, but Raonic will be playing so it’s all good. Go Canada!
