I was nervous after Djokovic twisted his ankle, it looked bad, I was thinking he would retire.
Now, let's hope Canada finishes off Italy.

Anybody have the scoop on who hosts a Canada-Serbia semi? I know Canada would have hosted the US but Serbia and Canada have never played if I'm not mistaken.

Looking at the bracket, I'm not sure if I understand it but it says that * means Choice of ground if decided by lot, which I guess means if they haven't played each other? If that's the case, I looks like Serbia would have the choice of ground, because for the semi-finals the * is placed where Serbia will be seeded at:

It's not boring watching Raonic serve. Never in doubt.
The semifinal would be in Serbia.

Wow who would have ever seen Canada in the Davis cup semis. Big ask to beat Djokovic and co in the semis but it should be fun.

only thing missing was that he should have done that interview shirtless
It is set:
Canada vs Serbia from Belgrade (probably on indoor clay)
September 13-15.

No doubt. The tennis world must be thinking Canada really? WTF? This is a monumental achieviement for Canadian tennis and it's a shame that it's not getting more coverage.

Home court advantage but I assume it's green or blue clay rather than red which is the slowest.

Luckily Milos plays well on clay and I believe Nestor is also quite good on clay

Hopefully Milos and crew can build some confidence the three remaining slams before the semi's.

Nestor is 11-4 on clay in Davis Cup doubles and 13-2 indoors, to go with 4 French Open Men's Doubles and 1 Mixed Doubles titles.
I don't think that this is a long shot for Canada. They have a good shot at Milos v Troicki and the doubles. They would most likely need their 2nd (Pospisil, Dancevic or Levine) to beat Troicki.
I'm half tempted to go to Belgrade to watch.

I'm so bloody chuffed about this that I just contacted Tennis Canada to see about tickets.
Flights from Heathrow to Belgrade are £177.
That would be sweet.
