The Czech Republic, Canada, Australia, Russia and the United States are the only countries to have held both Cups at the same time.

So happy for all of these ladies. What a team. Captain Heidi's gut about Marina was key. Leylah did a lot of the heavy lifting, but for Marina to play like she did? Amazing.

I only started following tennis closely recently, the past couple of years or so. What kind of doors will this open for Marina? Will she be able to get into WTA250 tournaments?

Yes indeed - Gaby doing the milk run from Cancun to Montreal to Vienna to Seville to play some incredible doubles with both Genie and Leylah was incredible as well.

She will need wild cards to get into some higher level WTA tourneys as her ranking isn't quite high enough to even get into qualifying. That said, if she maintains this form, it's only a matter of time.

Novak takes the first set in a tie-break, Holger takes the second set in a tie-break (almost bageled Djokovic). We need a decider.

That was a anti-climatic third set, it's almost as if Novak knew Holger would run out of gas around the three hour mark.

It appears that fast indoor hard courts might be the same kryptonite for Charlie that they were for Rafa. We're going three in Torino.
Edit: Zverev wins. Boo!!

Oikos getting roasted on Twitter for retiring against Holger after playing three games. He was stopping practice early a few days ago complaining about elbow pain and likely shouldn't even have been playing the ATP Finals.

Reading on twitter that Gabriel Diallo has pulled out of the Drummondville challenger event due to an injury he picked up at the Calgary tourney. His participation at the Davis Cup finals is certainly in doubt, we might just see Milos take the court in Malaga.

Sinner vs. Djokovic about to start - The crowd in Torino will certainly be behind Jannik.

Sinner breaks Novak and is serving for the opening set at 6-5 - Novak was up 40-love and lost five straight points.
Edit: Serves it out to love. Crowd is loving it lol

In a battle of the Benjamins Benjamin Thomas George comes out on top as he beats Benjamin Lock 6-1 7-5 in Drummondville.
Big win for the 20 year old Richmond Hill, Ontario native who's ranked 1852 as he beats the 344th ranked Zimbabwe native.

Sinner and Djokovic are going three sets - Really feels that Jannik needed to win this in straight sets.
