If FAA can come back healthy for the semis, that would be a massive boost for the team as well. I don't think they play tomorrow so there's a chance we'll see Felix in the final four. All this and Milos Raonic isn't even participating!I still can't get over that Canada's into the QF, and have only used Shapovalov and Pospisil so far.
They get a days rest, which theyll need. I think this run matches Canada's best ever showing in the Davis Cup, and I think they've got a shot at keeping it going.
If Felix is ready they think he'll play singles tomorrow.
Yeah, we'll see how they feel tomorrow. That would be a ton of pressure on Felix.I don't know. Unless either Vasek and Denis express concerns on their stamina, go with the guys that brought you here.
They have the benefit of finishing early compared to winner of the next SF.

Nadal’s been on fire this week, but his teammates are ailing a bit though. This is probably the weakest Spain DC team Rafa has been apart of. Those Spanish teams from the mid 2000’s-early 2010s were LOADED!England-Spain heading to the doubles for the deciding rubber.
With it already past 10pm local, regardless of opponent, that plays to Canadian advantage, as rest is an issue. Nadal and Lopez doing double duty for Spain, so they'll be tired if they get through, but betting against the fitness of Nadal seems like a risky bet.
Roger is my fave but not against Canadians.Don’t think I’ve ever been so torn over a match before. Nadal has been one of my all time favourite players for as long as I can remember and the way he’s carried Spain this week, at age 33.5, after an amazing, but surely exhausting year is beyond incredible. I’d love to see him complete this LeBron-like carry job to lead both himself and Spain to yet another DC title.
However, I am Canadian and winning a Davis Cup title would’ve never been on my radar when I first started watching tennis. Canada simply wasn’t a talented tennis nation back in those days...boy have things changed for the better since.
