Milos said yesterday on Sportsnet 590 he started the year with six high-profile events in mind: four Grand Slams, Olympics and Davis Cup. He definitely said it was a painful decision to slide the Olympics out of his initial group of six, but the cons out weighed the pros. He added, Davis Cup remains one of his priorities.

I'll third the comment on Shapovalov. It's time to move on from Dancevic. Bring him along as a hitting partner, but I think with Shapovalov blossoming, this is a great time to let him experience the Davis Cup at home.
