This is going to be epic, kickserv is beyond pumped up. :bigun:


Canada is a massive underdog, but in Davis Cup ya never know. Crowd will be going ape-shit and I think France will be totally underestimating what they are in for.

This Davis Cup match has been all over TV and newspapers for past two weeks and millions of fans will be tuning in. With Milos being so popular here in Canada there will be millions tuning in that have never even seen a tennis match.

Yep, Canada got a terrible draw (in terms of oddsmakers France is the fave to win the Davis Cup) but when ya play at home and have "nothing to lose" then hey ya never know:shrug:


And get this.........Julien BENNETEAU is on the French Team. If Canada can beat a team with Benneteau on it, then we truly are the best country on earth:142smilie

GL, champ. Never know.

 

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Would the most logical path to victory be:

1) Raonic over Tsonga
2) win doubles
3) Pull off one big upset

?? Oh, canada!! Beat the French frogs.

 

[kickserv]

Chucky........

One thing is for sure....Canada has zero chance if they do not win the doubles.

Absolutely have to win the doubles. No shot unless they win the doubles....none.

Odds.........


France $1.33 (-303)
Canada $3.70 (+270)

[ChuckyTheGoat]

GL, champs. Odds are dipping.

You movedthe line! They either fear u, or the Canadian flag.

U like Pospisil at all as Home Dog there?

 

[kickserv]

Yep....odds are getting worse, but that is because Julien is playing second singles. I can tell ya one thing though, Monfils will be playing on Sunday.

As for Pospisil, he is playing in his hometown and has "nothing to lose" but he is playing the #6 player in the world. He will get smoked. Yes the crowd will be going ape-shit but Pospisil will be super nervous and it won't go well. Hope I am wrong but it doesn't look good for Pospisil.



Gotta win the doubles......that is for sure.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) def. Vasek Pospisil (CAN), 6-1, 6-3, 6-3
