Canada’s Davis Cup Team Announced
The team for Canada's World Group first round tie against France has been set. There were no surprises. Veteran Daniel Nestor and Milos Raonic will lead the Davis Cup team and are joined by Vasek Pospisil and Frank Dancevic. The fifth player will be Peter Polansky.
Team Canada will face some stiff competition in Vancouver. The French team features two top players in Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gael Monfils. Doubles specialists Julien Benneteau and Michael Llodra round out the team. The only player that Raonic has a winning record against is Llodra (3-0). He has lost once to both Monfils and Benneteau, but has yet to meet Tsonga on the tour.
The tie gets underway on February 10 at the Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver. The home crowd advantage will be crucial during the matches, especially for Vancouver's own Vasek Pospisil who stepped up in the playoff with Israel last year. Of course, fans will be clamoring to see Milos Raonic serve up some bombs on a Canadian court. Normally this opportunity comes but once a year.
We will post details on television coverage when they become available.
Go Canada, go!

Thanks mentioning ! I will be for my country (France), but not against Canada and certainly not against Milos ! I hope Milos and my country win (it is possible !) and I am so happy you host Davis Cup ! Now, of course, I would like my country to go ahead . Together, let’s hope the matches will be of good quality and that Milos, in front of his public, do well ! He deserves it !!! Best of luck to all !

This is going to be amazing for the folks out West. I am very jealous. Tsonga and Monfils? Raonic and Nestor? It will be awesome to watch.
Perhaps the best part is that matches start around the time most of us are getting off work in the Eastern time zone. I am still recovering from the 3:30 AM rises during the Australian Open.
Perhaps the worst part is that, for once, it looks like one of our favorite readers, Robert (de France) will be against us!
