View Full Version : Davis Cup 2018 - the rest of the world
Frank Dancevic will take over the Canadian captaincy from Martin Laurendeau (https://www.daviscup.com/en/news/277359.aspex)
Matthew Ebden is hoping he'll get picked for their team against Germany.
Denis Shapovalov believes Felix Auger-Aliassime should make his Canadian debut against Croatia and also believes they will beat them. The Canadians haven't won away since 2011.
Cilic will equal Ljubicic's record of 22 Davis Cup ties.
The Netherlands have chosen Haase, Griekspoor, de Bakker and Rojer for their team against the French.
Australia will chose Nick Kyrgios, Jordan Thompson, John Millman, John Peers and Alex de Minaur.
Germany have chosen Alexander Zverev, Jan-Lennard Struff, Peter Gojowczyk and Tim Puetz.
Switzerland have chosen Henri Laaksonen, Adrian Bodmer, Marc Andrea Huesler, Antoine Bellier and Luca Margaroli.

Team Canada is without Milos AGAIN and they will pose no threat to Croatia - UNLESS Cilic wins Oz Open and pulls out. Fingers crossed.

Well he can believe all he wants but it won't happen. Daniel should have retired probably 2 years ago for one thing and Vashy's playing horribly right now, as is Frank. The only decent player we have is Denis but he can't do it by himself, sadly.

I had similar problems a few times while trying to follow GB scores from work-I had just assumed it was due to the dodgy signal where I work.

Don't think it's a dodgy signal in this instance. My friend was also having trouble with the DC phone app. I see it was updated this evening so I hope that helps a bit. But the web version suggested by James is a good alternative.

Yeah I was expecting Croatia to win in straights so when Canada won the first two so convincingly I thought YAY! And a break in the third more YAY! Then I don't know what the heck happened. Disaster. BUT I thought Vashy and Danny played lights out tennis for the first 2.5 sets and it was sooooo exciting. Still, VERY DISAPPOINTING tbh.
I know , I wasn't expecting a win either , and was so excited when they went up 2 sets
They played great for the first 2 1/2 sets , but halfway thru that 3rd set , something gave out , I know Daniel said he was worried that if it went to 5 he may not have the stamina for it , and Vasek has been sick , but still , they were only 2 games away from taking the match !!!

Yes that is a really tough loss esp. as Danny could have really gone out with a bang, which I think was motivating him in those early sets. But still he did play amazingly well esp. considering it's clay. Both served very well until....at 4:2 up in the third when they didn't.

Yes I'm so sad for him. I really wanted him to go out with a great win. Should have been! :grrr: I do hope he becomes DC Captain one day too. Not sure Frankie is so great tbh. I don't want to sound ageist but he's too young methinks. And he's not as talented as the players in the current squad either. Denis didn't do well today, so bad tie all round. Oh dear!

In 50 days time, Spain will play Germany (also the other matches that are taking place). I wish we'd been playing them instead.
After the USA announce their venue, against Belgium, will be at the Curb Center, Nashville, Croatia and Spain announce their venues. Croatia will play Kazakhstan in the Varazdin Arena and Spain will play Germany in the Plaza de Toros de Valencia.

Well it's one way to keep the away team support, away.
Italy have nominated Fabio Fognini, Paolo Lorenzi, Andreas Seppi, Matteo Berrettini and Simone Bolelli.
France have nominated Lucas Pouille, Adrian Mannarino, Pierre-Hugues Herber, Jeremy Chardy and Nicolas Mahut.
Spain have nominated Rafael Nadal, Roberto Bautista Agut, Pablo Carreno Busta, Feliciano Lopez and David Ferrer.
Germany have nominated Alexander Zverev, Philipp Kohlscreiber, Jan-Lennard Struff, Maximilian Marterer and Tim Puetz.
Croatia have nominated Marin Cilic, Borna Coric, Viktor Galovic, Ivan Dodig and Nikola Mektic.
Kazakhstan have nominated Mikhail Kukushkin, Aleksandr Nedovyesov, Dmitry Popko, Denis Yeveysev and Timr Khabibulin.
USA have nominated Jack Sock, Sam Querrey, John Isner, Ryan Harrison and Steve Johnson.
Belgium have nominated Ruben Bemelmans, Joris De Loore, Joran Vliegen and Sander Gille.
Is Goffin injured?
I think he's still suffering from getting hit in the face/eye by a ball. It was just an unlucky accident in a match, think the ball came off his own racket. But it was obviously quite serious
Seppi vs Pouille and then Fognini vs Chardy tomorrow. On Saturday: Bolelli and Lorezi vs Herbert and Mahut.

Didn't fancy going to India, to me one of the worst options together with Uzbekistan and Pakistan. On the other hand wouldn't mind a trip to China though a home tie would be even better.

A big shock that, Dennis 160 places lower than the youngster, Medvedev looking like he'll level it soon, can't see Austria getting two more ...but DC always has a few shocks
China made a change for the 4th rubber and its all gone wrong, they're heading for defeat although in the doubles they were a tie-break away from winning the whole tie.
Colombia are 1-1 with Brazil, a Colombia win would mean Japan would be seeded in the play-off draw and if we drew Colombia then choice of ground would be decided by lot.

For Kohlie to take him to 7-5 In the 5th shows how Daveed has declined even on clay. Glad he got the win but it's hard to be a battler on claywhen you're 36.
That match and many of the matches from the weekend showed how fantastic the Davis cup in its current format can be. Though that’s a point for another topic. I was so happy for ferru though. It’s been an up and down few years for him. Maybe this will give him a boost :)
Wonderful that Daveed got the win on this occasion but sadly I think he's in the twilight of his career.

BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/44587952) - Amelie Mauresmo: Andy Murray's ex-coach to captain France Davis Cup team
Former world number one Amelie Mauresmo is to become France's first female Davis Cup captain.
Mauresmo was the first woman to coach a leading male player when appointed by Britain's three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray in 2014.
The pair worked together for two years and Mauresmo later took charge of France's Fed Cup team.
"I am thinking of Andy because without him I would not be here today," the 38-year-old said on Saturday.
"He had confidence in me when others thought that it was an aberration."
French tennis federation (FFT) president Bernard Giudicelli described the decision as "completely groundbreaking".
Nick Kyrgios has decided not to play in their Davis Cup tie. So, Lleyton Hewiitt is expected to name de Minaur, Millman and Bolt for the singles and himself and Peers for the doubles.

Wow!!! The first match was great in that Milos won decisively and quickly then Denis came on and after losing the first two sets he looked so defeated and ticked off we thought we'd be catching the early train home but then he rallied and the crowd went nuts. Awesome come from behind win!!! And we ended getting home well after midnight instead. Kudos to Robin Haase who played really well tbh. I just think Denis went up a gear or two whereas Robin was already playing at his best level. Reminded me a little of when Vashy won in five sets in Ottawa last year.
Looking forward to the dubs today!!! And tomorrow they are having a special farewell ceremony for Daniel Nestor before the singles matches commence.
I would say the coliseum was about 2/3rd full. One side was completely blacked out - they did that in Ottawa too, not sure why.

Well, sadly, they lost in 4 sets but they did win the first set at least. Daniel's serve let him down big time but Vashy played amazingly well. He made a very emotional speech afterwards that choked me up. I think he was super disappointed that he went out with a loss and made a joke that Milos had been telling him all week long that he should have retired 1.5 years ago. :lol:

Lots of grumbling folk on the way out. And they didn't tell us why Robin Haase didn't play altho' the replacement player did a good job, I thought.
Anyway, fun weekend and so good to have it close to home, but wish I could have seen Felix play the dead rubber.
Also nice to see Daniel's Hall of Fame induction ceremony and afterwards I met his two young daughters in the loo and they were adorable. AND oor ANDY MURRAY appeared in the video they made. He said even tho' he doesn't understand or follow basketball he always beat Daniel at fantasy basketball. :lol:
Forgot to mention Gene Simmons from Kiss was at Friday's match. Posed for photos on the way out past us. Trying to figure out whether he was wearing a wig or if he just dyes his hair. Am going for the former...

Cilic wins 6-3 7-5 6-4 after Tsonga had an off-court MTO during 3rd set.
It is disgraceful that even the BBC are not showing on on-line TV.

For the first time since I can remember this isn't being shown on Cdn sports tv at all - I sent tweets to both sports channels to ask why but neither have responded. Luckily I found a very clear and good quality livestream. I really want to watch the doubles as Team France are my second fave team behind oor Jamie/Bruno.
Oh! I know karanga, don't know about anyone else I think I have signed up for enough tennis channels this year :wave:
So have I Lynne - more than enough. 4 to be exact. :lol:
It's a real shame they don't have one dedicated tennis channel on which all the tennis events are covered. :swingin:
According to that article British viewers can live stream the weekend's action by signing up to an ITF TV match package for €4.99.
Has anyone done this.
I used this for the last tie and it was fine. Not had a chance today.

Pity Tsonga ailing and Croatia in strong position after Coric beat Chardy in straights earlier. Thought it was originally reported that BBC were covering this (must think other events more important), though they've only recently covered non GB ties (always used to be Eurosport/Sky but alas not given due prominence this time) As it turned out could not have watched much live today anyway.
Came back in and the doubles match is still on - watching on bet365 - looks like its been a cracker. On serve 6-5 in the fifth set.
Well done Mahut and Herbert :clap: Taken the fifth on a tiebreaker. France is still alive in the final.

Yes, it has been a cracker. France had 3 match points at 5-4 with Pavic serving at 0-40 against a VERY noisy crowd saved all 3 and held for 5-5.
France wins the tie-break and the match in 4 sets.

Gives France a slim chance tomorrow. Well done.

Enjoyed the match even tho' I was watching on a Croatian livestream. :lol: So happy they won!!!
Talking about signing up for tennis channels. I am a wee bit miffed that tennistv does not show WTA tennis, grand slams, exho's like Laver Cup and Davis Cup. I really don't want to pay extra. Crazy!

Cilic's 7-6 6-3 6-3 win over Pouille (who played well and did all he could) gives Croatia the win 3-1 over France in the last "proper" Davis Cup Final.

Congratulations to Croatia but so sad that today DC is over and all we're left with is the Pique Cup. :thanks: for some of the best days & weekends of my life DC

Certainly won't be the same again. I can look back at some fantastic DC's particularly in Birmingham and at Wimbledon, but also the overseas ones I went to in Ghent, Rouen and Marbella.

Well kudos to Croatia but I'm soooooo disappointed for France. I don't know why they didn't have Gasquet playing, or Gilles Simon, or Paire. Gasquet is really good on clay.
Question: who's the REALLY tall Croatian player in the middle of the trophy presentation group???

I think that is Skugor - same height as Cilic 6ft 6.

Well done to Croatia and Cilic did not give Pouille too many chances, pty though France did not have a stronger team. At least they extended the tie with the exciting doubles win though a even if not best contest throughout the years, disappointing that's the end of Davis Cup as we know it but some great memories!

It's a good time to be a teenager in tennis apparently:-
18-year-old Belarusian Daniil Ostapenkov is yet to play a professional tennis match at any level. He just shocked world No.15 Diego Schwartzman in straight sets in Argentina. It's been a wild September for teenage underdogs in tennis

It's a good time to be a teenager in tennis apparently:-
although the Argentinians put that surprise behind them to win the tie 4-1. Belgium came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in Bolivia, Ukraine won both final singles to beat Israel 3-2, and Peru beat Serbia the same way. I prefer the DC way of playing, doubles as the 3rd rubber, instead of the 5th as in BJ Cup.
I haven't seen all that many Fed Cup/BJK Cup ties, but I'm pretty sure that doubles hasn't ended up playing a part in any of them. Maybe one of the qualifiers in Bath?
