If they win, and since they host the next round, do they have a venue set? Put it in the Corral and it will be rocking.

As a casual tennis fan I can understand why someone with not a lot of interest wouldn't have much desire to go to this event. With country play not really a big part of Tennis overall and Canada being so bad at it for so long I would think most sports fan (let alone Joe Schmoe) would have little interest to start with. Add in the fact that the big countries don't seem to care about the tournament as well and it seems like a nothing sort of deal to most people (I would assume.)
If not for the hardcore Tennis fans on here and my being pissed off at it dominating Sportsnet TV yesterday I likely wouldn't have known it was on.
If you have Nadal or some of the other big name Spanish players here maybe you have something to build off of but selling people that nobody has heard to a competition few have heard of is going to be tough even if Canada looks like they will win this round.
