Ottawa, February 2, 2017 – The official draw for the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first-round tie between Canada and Great Britain took place Thursday in the Reading Room at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, determining the match-ups for the weekend ahead. Canada and Great Britain will face off on an indoor hard court at TD Place in Ottawa from February 3-5, with the winner moving on to the World Group quarter-finals in April.
 
The Canadian Davis Cup team consisting of Daniel Nestor (Toronto), Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver), Peter Polansky (Thornhill, Ont.), and Denis Shapovalov (Richmond Hill, Ont.) will take on Great Britain in two singles matches on Friday, a doubles match on Saturday, and two reverse singles matches on Sunday. Leading the squad through the tie is longtime Canadian Davis Cup team captain Martin Laurendeau.  
 
Pospisil and Shapovalov were selected by Laurendeau to play singles, while British team captain Leon Smith nominated Daniel Evans and Kyle Edmund. The doubles teams will be Nestor and Pospisil for Canada, and Dominic Inglot and Jamie Murray for Great Britain.

“We have been preparing hard all week and are ready to start the tie,” said Laurendeau. “We know Great Britain will be a challenge, but our team is ready to take the court on a surface that we believe suits our style of play. We’re very excited to be in Ottawa playing in front of what looks to be a full and supportive crowd, and we will be definitely be looking to use that home court to our advantage throughout the weekend.”

Great Britain has enjoyed recent success in Davis Cup action, snapping a 79-year drought with their championship win in 2015. Last year, they reached the World Group semifinals, before falling to the eventual champions, Argentina.
