Davis Cup Draw

if the brits gonna win then the rain will need to be kept away! in the first few weeks of september the weather's fine, but later on it often rains alot! som im thinking grass would be good, but the weather needs to fine as well. if you doing indoors, then the surface needs to be a very slow indoor court, ifs that possible. how much time do the GB team have to decide what surface would be played?

This is not British Davis Cup (so not directly relevant) but thought it funny to see the huge hoo-hah that it creates in other countries......

France is up in arms because Noah/the FFT decided a few weeks back to play the first round (against Canada), come March, in Guadeloupe.

Supposedly '80%' of the players are dead set against.

Raonic (who has just beaten Monfils at the AO) has just added oil to the fire by saying if it had been in France he wouldn't have made the journey. But Guadeloupe suits him fine !

And the main reason seems to be to help finance a new velodrome - only the guy in charge over there says the numbers don't add up and he doesn't think the region can afford it.......

 That feels like a much tougher draw than last year, but Czech republic are very beatable these days. if it works like last time, Group C winners play Group F winners, so we could play any of 3 tougher teams. The RU spot would take us to Spain or Russia or Group B winners, which looks most likely to be Canada. 

So , it looks like a much tougher route this time. What confused me is how our seeding dropped to 10th for this event, based on Nations Rankings, but we of course made the semis in the final in Madrid...I assumed we would be higher than 10th and possibly seeded, ahead of Croatia certainly

 How can we be 10th after reaching the semi's? The French are beatable with no top 10 pro. The dubs pairing is not so prolific either these days.

 They seeded by rankings and we fell to 10yh because our win from a few years back dropped off our points

The upset of the day/week/month/year/ever:

Daniil Ostapenkov, an unranked juniors player (#63 juniors), who never won a title above J5 (lowest category) & recently lost a match to the junior #804 (!!), beats #15 Diego Schwartzman 6-4, 6-3 (!!!) at #DavisCup. ON CLAY.
