Why is Polansky on this team? So stupid.
So Dancevic can't play or Tennis Canada hates him.. fine.
How about Chvojka? He's in good form.
I'm as baffled as you are. I have no idea why they picked Polansky, who hasn't won a single match in like 6 months. Oh sorry, he won those two matches in a FUTURE a couple of weeks ago.. pathetic. Peter is not on the pro level these days. He has gone down 200 ranking spots, and now only play futures, because it's the only draw he can get into with his ranking.
On the other hand they have guys like Chovjka, PLD and Bester who has ADVANCED many ranking spots. OK, I understand Bester is out injured, but any of the other two would have been better, and done better, than Polansky. Picking Polansky was the worst. decision. ever. Seriously.. he hasn't won a pro match in like a year. Sure, he has won a pro match in the past, but so what? He's in the worst form right now of his entire career. He really is in a rut, and he has been for the majority of the season. It's not going to change. Either PLD or Chovjka would have been a better pick, and I bet both would have been able to be more competitive than Polansky too, maybe even win it.
My ultimate choice would have of course been Dancevic, but he has some beef with Tennis Canada, they have some bad blood between them. It's a shame, because he could have won the match Polansky lost. Oh well..
