2015 Davis Cup

[TennisFanatic7]

Jo Willy could beat Andy on grass but not sure about the others. Likewise I struggle to see Wardy beating any of the French singles players although I wouldn't rule him out as he loves his Davis Cup heroics. The doubles will be pivotal in that tie, tough decision for us whether to use Andy or stick to the Dom Into it Jamie Murray combo which was so impressive against the Bryans.

Wimbledon won't be used for gb tie vs france, its less than a week after the major finishes, mood music is about playing at queens club where they will have had a bigger window of time to recover the grass after atp500 tourney there.

Well that doesn't make sense! Didn't Rafa and the rest of the Spanish misogynist team write a letter objecting to the last female DC Captain? :cover uzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy:

You shouldn't talk if don't have any idea why all the Spaniards tennis players didn't like Gala but nothing against to have a female DC Captain

Apparently the issue was not that Gala Leon was a female, rather that the players were not consulted about who was named as captain. Seems that they are OK with Conchita.

Some say she is Interim Captain. Some say she is appointed as the captain. Which one is true?

Raonic will skip DC tie, he is not yet fully fit.

So it's up to Canada's new hero, Pospisil. But can he beat Goffin?

And McGoffin.

Most likely it will come down to the rest of the team of Belgium and Canada and not Goffin nand Pospisil, and that is where Belgium will have the edge I am afraid.

No, I disagree. On the opening day, we can safely assume that Goffin will beat Canada #2 and Popsicle will beat Belgium #2. The doubles will go to Canada with the 80 year old veteran Nestor being there. Then, Canada will be up 2-1. The 4th match will be Popsicle vs. Goffin. If Pops can pull it off Canada wins (chances are less given that it is in clay). But, Goffin cannot secure victory for his country. Even if he beats Pops, the match will be decided by the battle between the weaklings of the two teams.

Pospisil is out now too.

Wow, I hope this doesn't turn into a long term thing for Ferrer. He's no whipper snapper who can just bounce back from injury!

The quarterfinals of the 2015 Davis Cup will be held this weekend, July 17-19.

Davis Cup Draw

We have the following matchups:

France at Great Britain: Queen's Club (grass)

This could be the most interesting match up in the quarterfinals. In Davis Cup. you're only as good as your second man. That's where Great Britain is going to have some problems winning this match. Murray will play but he can only bring in two wins.

Kazakhstan at Australia: Marrara Sporting Complex, Darwin, Australia (grass)

Australia definitely has the advantage here. As long as Kyrgios can behave himself.

Serbia at Australia: Tecnopolis, Buenos Aires, Argentina (red clay)

Even without Djokovic in the lineup, Serbia has the advantage on paper. Wide one contest.

Canada at Belgium: Sportpark Krokodiel, Middelkerke (Ostend), Belgium (red clay)

Canada has been hit by the injury bug, with Raonic and Pospisil both not playing in this one. With Goffin leading the way, Beligium has a great chance for an "upset".

Lots of top players missing this week. And the top of the draw looks much more competitive than the bottom.
