We have one of the best doubles players of all time - Daniel Nestor. Also, Adil Shamasdin has been doing really well over the past year (including one tour title). Lets discuss Canadian doubles results here.
It's cool that you say that after they already won. They've won and they still have a 35% chance to lose, that's interesting. I'll forgive you though, you probably don't get a lot of canadian mens doubles coverage in Norway
Popsicle played really well. Nestor actually dropped off considerably in the 2nd set, particularly the return of serve - Vashy picked up the slack. Well done.
canadian interest in tennis anyway comes to and end..for now
im not sure if a team actually qualified to played mixed doubles but its probably better for dan if they didnt because neither aleks or stephanie would be able to help him out at all, he'd basically have to play by himself out there.
So Monte Carlo features two new "Canadian content" teams: Nestor & Lindstedt but also Milos & Bernard Tomic (6th alternate, so should make it in since there are 6 OS slots).
I don't know where Nestor found the energy to win a 15-13 set against Italy today. He's still experiencing new things after more than twenty years on tour. His first Davis Cup quarterfinal is certainly a memorable one. He won a World Group doubles match before, but that was when his opponents retired, and Canada ended up losing the tie (Nestor-Niemeyer d. Verkerk-Haarhuis 7-6, 1-0 ret. in 2004).
Lexington champs! Dancevic and Polansky played a wonderful match this evening. Running passing shots, incredible lobs... Klahn and Venus had won eleven straight matches together. The USTA's live stream is high quality.
Another doubles title for Vasek, this time with Zimonjic. Interesting to see Nestor playing with someone other than Nenad this week; I thought they would at least finish the season together. In Paris, Nestor is playing with Bopanna again and Pospisil is playing with Sock.
Good Australian Open so far for Canadian doubles. Two players in the quarterfinals, and they could play each other in the semifinals. Nestor-Stepanek and Sock-Pospisil.
I'd consider Pospisil/Sock to be the favourite to come out of that side of the draw right now. Nestor needs the points more, though, to get into the Olympics.
