I was chatting with someone with Canadian tennis ties the other day and apparently Tennis Canada has been hounding him for the last five years. He always said no, but they must have sweetened the pot in December for him to change his mind. I'm not sure what is was, but I agree the Davis Cup definitely had something to do with it.
If that's the case, it's too bad they didn't get him on board sooner because he's ineligible to play in February due to the 90 day window.
At least he's a die-hard Senators fan...and not of some other team in Ontario
