Daniel Nestor has been a terrific servant for Tennis Canada. He's a really nice guy to boot. I had the pleasure of meeting him after he lost to Todd Martin in the Men's Singles Tournament at Wimbledon in 1995. Top guy.
It is unfortunate that now he's in the twilight of his doubles career, Canada finally gets a top singles player. What an opportunity for Tennis Canada - the Davis Cup semi finals! I can't believe that this is even a possibility, but it is and what a wonderful opportunity.
I sure hope that the venue at UBC is absolutely heaving with people and the atmosphere electric. Not usually a fan of jingoistic behaviour, I'll be in full flag-waving mode on Sunday.
