Milos Raonic leads Canada into home-court Davis Cup tie versus Britain
OTTAWA — Canada’s captain Martin Laurendeau says Britain will be a tough Davis Cup opponent even without Andy Murray.
Milos Raonic, Vasek Pospisil, Daniel Nestor and Denis Shapovalov are the host country’s lineup announced Tuesday for a World Group first-round tie Feb. 3-5 in Ottawa.
Murray, the world men’s No. 1, was missing from Britain’s roster unveiled Tuesday. Andy’s brother Jamie Murray, Daniel Evans, Kyle Edmund and Dominic Inglot are slated to take on Canada at TD Place.
Laurendeau isn’t entirely convinced Andy Murray will give Ottawa a pass, but believes his squad will nevertheless have its hands full with Britain.
