OT: The Tennis thread

Well, the Canadians ran out of gas and Spain won the doubles in 5 sets. Canada still leads the tie 2-1 and Milos has the opportunity to put Canada through tomorrow.

Spain storms back to win in 5 sets.
but the marathon match took a lot out of Granollers, who has a quick turnaround to face Milos at 11am tomorrow

I'll have to check on Filip Peliwo, but I think that would be the next logical step Kenny...

Peliwo!! I couldn't remember his name for the life of me.

lol - One thing I still have going for me is a pretty good memory Kenny. Not much athletic prowess left unfortunately.

@patersonjeff
Laurendeau says Nestor feeling dizzy, light-headed in 4th set. With team doctor and unable to do post-match media

and Pospisil coming off of a 6 week bout of mono.
I'd say they put up a heck of a battle.

Guess we can say the doubles match did its job.

Milos will face Garcia-Lopez (ranked 82) instead of Granollers (34)

 

[puckhead]

1st set for Milos, 6-3

and breaks the first game of the 2nd set.

 

[puckhead]

2nd set 6-4.
and Milos breaks the first set of the 3rd set

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I dont think spain is ever letting milos back in their country to train with galo blanco

 

[jstewismybastardson]

So they play italy here if they win?

/Does Vancouver host the match against Italy?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Do they switch in levine for frank the tank v italy ?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

The only reason levine didnt play v spain wasbecause he didnt have his cdn documents in time

Canada will host Italy in Davis Cup QF April 5-7. Venue to be determined.
