France can boast four players in the ATP’s top 20, so whomever they announced as their Davis Cup team on Tuesday, Canada was coming out the underdog for the Feb. 10-12 World Group tie at UBC.
But Canada’s captain Martin Laurendeau wasn’t afraid to poke at a potential soft spot in the French fortress.
“If [Gael] Monfils gets to play,” he said of the world No. 13, “we all know he’s beatable.
“He can win a tournament any given week, but he’s had his share of counter-performances. Hopefully, it’s one of those weeks.”
