OTA PICTURE OF THE WEEK
Canada is set to host Japan in a World Group first round tie in Vancouver this weekend. This is a repeat of the World Group first round tie between the two nations in 2014. The Canadians lost that one, but they were without Milos Raonic, (Thornhill) and Vasek Pospisil, (BC) due to injury. This time around they are both healthy and will be joined on the team by Frank Dancevic, (Niagara Falls) and doubles legend Daniel Nestor, (Toronto). The Japanese team is lead by Kei Nishikori. He is joined by Tatsuma Ito, Go Soeda and Yasutaka Uchiyama.
Play commences at 2pm PT with the first of 2 singles matches. This will be followed by a doubles match on Saturday, beginning at 1pm PT. The final 2 singles matches are scheduled for Sunday, commencing at 2pm PT. All the action can be seen live on Sportsnet1
