The Japanese have been given an eighth consecutive home tie in Davis Cup

Eight in a row at home? How does that happen?

Luck. The Davis Cup balances home-court in ties between the same countries (i.e. if Canada and Japan meet again I think we'd be the home side), but if the countries have never met it's luck of the draw.
