    Tomorrow we’re off to watch two days of glorious tennis, the Davis Cup between Canada and France the winner of which will go to Bologna in Italy to play the finals, in November.

    There are 2 singles matches tomorrow that start at 5 pm and then, 1 doubles match and 2 singles matches that start at 2 pm on Saturday. I just hope none of the singles matches go on to five sets otherwise we might have a late night Friday!

    The lineups are: Félix Auger-Aliassime, Gabriel Diallo, Liam Draxl and Duncan Chan for Canada. Against a French team featuring Arthur Fils, Arthur Rinderknech, Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
