Denis has all the shots. He's kind of a young colt with limbs extended out in multiple directions at the same time. Look forward to him developing better balance, footwork and movement. All will come together especially when his anticipation improves.

Re: Davis Cup 2017
From Russell Fuller's twitter account (Russell Fuller is the tennis correspondent of the BBC in the UK) after the DC tie on Sunday ...
"Referee Brian Earley has the power to impose a fine of up to $12 000 on Shapovalov. ITF could add to that and/or suspend him in due course."
Updated 21 hours ago
"Denis Shapovalov will be fined $7000 by the referee: maximum fine of $12000 would only have applied had his actions been deemed intentional
...Umpire Arnaud Gabas is wearing shades but in cheerful mood at breakfast. Thankfully it appears as if the damage is only cosmetic. ITF has the power to add to the fine and/or impose suspension, but initial indications suggest they may leave it at that... ITF confirm no further action is anticipated against Shapovalov, and add there's no damage to umpire Gabas' cornea or retina... Shapovalov was full of remorse & handled himself impressively post match. But given ferocity of the ball strike, that's a lenient response:- Heather Watson was fined $12k (& Serena $10k) for smashing racquets into Wimbledon's turf last year. Potential consequences much greater here"
I wonder how the fining system works - $7000 may not be a 'large' fine but to a teenager finding his feet on the pro Tour it's a lot of money. Are the fines deducted at source, in a reverse of credit payments/extended credit.... I have no idea.

Re: Davis Cup 2017
That's a horrific story about Stefan wcr.
Interesting that I've never read anything about it - guess he was so young and unknown at the time that it just got forgotten. Poor guy, what a ridiculous way to die.

Me neither, never heard about this Edberg story. Just terrible. And impressive how he could get past it. I saw the video, Denis was really sad with the situation he created. Very fortunate the umpire had nothing serious.

Re: Davis Cup 2017
I had never heard that Edberg story either. Wow.
I think Shapovalov will learn from this. He is profusely sorry and he has apologized publicly and privately to the umpire. He was rightly defaulted and fined. I think he'll be a better sportsman on court because of this. He's got a good game and I think he'll be a top guy some day.

Re: Davis Cup 2017
Steve Tignor has written a fine article about the possible radical changes to the Davis Cup that are to be voted on later this year - and why, in his opinion, most of them shouldn't happen:
by: Steve Tignor March 10, 2017
What’s the best part of a Davis Cup weekend? For some, it’s the sight of unbridled patriotic pageantry in a sport with such a coolly globalist ethos. For others, it’s the sound of normally reticent fans letting their preferences and passions be heard at full volume. For the doubles devotees among us, it’s the rare chance to see that neglected version of the game get as much attention as the singles.
To me, though, the best part of Davis Cup comes right at the beginning of a tie, in the first few games of the opening rubber. As the two players work their way into the match, there’s a feeling that everyone is settling in for a long weekend together. We all know we’re going to be here for a while. We all know we’re going to watch a small cast of characters act out a lengthy drama on a single court. We all know, as that drama progresses, that we’re going to witness ups and downs and twists and turns that we can’t possibly foresee right now.
Yet even in those opening minutes, there’s also an intensity to the atmosphere in a Davis Cup arena that doesn’t exist anywhere else in tennis. When the home-team’s player wins his first point, or records his first service hold, the fans stand, scream, blow their kazoos, bash their Thunderstix and begin to chant. Normally, this type of response to a single point at the start of a three-out-of-five-set match would be embarrassingly out of proportion to its importance. Not here; over-the-top reactions are what Davis Cup is all about.
Despite those reactions, which the Cup provokes in arenas from Buenos Aires to Moscow to Melbourne, there has been a feeling for decades that the competition isn’t living up to its potential as an entertainment product. To its detractors, the staggered, four-stage schedule is confusing. The fact that the winning nation must begin its title defense three months later is absurd. The terminology, with its ties and rubbers—some alive and some dead—is fusty and arcane. And apparently, as of this week, those ties and rubbers take too long. On Wednesday, the International Tennis Federation, which runs Davis Cup, announced that it will vote in August on a proposal to reduce the length of matches from best of five sets to best of three.
That decision won’t be made lightly; best of five has been the standard since the Cup began 117 years ago. But the move also shouldn’t come as a surprise. The ITF has been looking for ways to attract more top players to Davis Cup, who will hopefully attract more of that mysterious Holy Grail known as the “casual fan.” This brand of fan, it is believed, wants to watch Roger Federer, but doesn’t want to spend 10, 12, 15 hours over a weekend doing it.
Shortening matches would seem to be a logical solution. The best-of-five format is, in some ways, a relic of tennis’ amateur era, when the sport wasn’t so physically taxing on its players and there was no need to make it fit into a television programmer’s schedule. Today the men play best of three at every event other than Davis Cup and the Grand Slams (and the women play it everywhere). There are few complaints about a lack of drama or excitement in the shorter format.
Change, as I wrote above, has been in the Davis Cup air for decades, and the new head of the ITF, David Haggerty, says he wants to make some of those long-talked-about modifications happen soon. This one seems to have been hastened by the dismal number of marquee players who showed up for the opening round in February; only one of the Top 14 men, Novak Djokovic, participated. The hope is that reducing the strenuousness of the ties will entice the ATP’s big names to add the Cup to their already busy tour schedules.
By itself, this change seems unlikely to make that happen. Even if a player is on court for less time, he still must travel to wherever the tie is held—which could be anywhere from Kalamazoo to Kazakhstan—and spend the week with his team. That might not sound all that onerous, but for the top players it’s often one commitment too many. For example, Rafael Nadal could conceivably play for Spain in Serbia in early April—he won’t be far away. But Rafa said in Indian Wells this week that it wouldn’t be easy. He’ll be coming off a long month on hard courts in North America, and getting ready for a longer two months on clay—the most important part of the season for him—in Europe.
That said, it’s something of a myth that Nadal and his fellow stars don’t have time for Davis Cup. Last year, Juan Martin del Potro led Argentina to its first title in thrilling fashion. The previous year, Andy Murray did the same for Great Britain. In 2014, Federer and Stan Wawrinka brought the Cup home for the Swiss for the first time. In 2010, Djokovic led Serbia to the title, and in 2012 he helped his nation back to the final. Nadal has been part of five championship teams with Spain.
All of them played best of five without complaint. In such a prestigious event, it probably would have felt strange, and a little risky, to do anything else. Whatever we think of the time it takes, best of five is a fairer format and truer test than best of three. The longer a match goes, the better the odds are that the superior player will find a way to win it.
In Davis Cup, the longer a match goes, the more exciting it also tends to get. The competition produced three of the very best contests of 2016: Murray’s win over Kei Nishikori in the first round, Del Potro’s win over Murray in the semifinals and Del Potro’s win over Marin Cilic in the final. All went five sets; all were unforgettable. When they’re competing for their countries, players tend to give everything they have until the bitter end—I want to watch as much of that kind of effort as I can. Does the strain lead to more injuries? I’ve always thought the nonstop, never-ending 11-month season, rather than the fact that the men play best-of-five sets a few times a year, was the real culprit when it comes to player health.
There are changes that could help Davis Cup. Giving the defending champions a first-round bye, holding the competition every other year, consolidating it into three rounds, giving more ranking points to the participants—these might attract brand-name players and their fans. But I’m the wrong person to recommend any modifications; I like the Cup as it is, with the stars or without them. I like how it shows that tennis is more than just the big names; I like how it allows journeymen the chance to be heroes for a day. The current U.S. team might not have any future Hall of Famers on it, but John Isner and Jack Sock are Top 20 guys, and they’ve shown a willingness to travel anywhere, and play matches of any length, to bring a Cup back to the States. That’s something casual sports fans of any country should be able to get behind and enjoy. Not every competition needs to be dominated by the Big Four, and not every tournament has to bring in as many spectators and sponsors as the Grand Slams.
Going to best of three won’t save or destroy Davis Cup, but it will make this most storied of tennis competitions feel a little less special. In those opening moments of the first rubber, we won’t settle in quite as deeply or look forward to as much tennis over the coming weekend. We won’t foresee as many twists and turns in the drama. We won’t feel like something quite as weighty is about to happen. As it’s constituted today, Davis Cup, with its arcane ways and marathon matches, isn’t for everyone. But it is for people who love tennis.

DAVIS CUP
Andy_Murray out of GB's Davis Cup quarter-final against France due to injury.
Full story: https://t.co/0hpVJUHVFr https://t.co/jxy7TWUECN
Andy Murray will miss Great Britain's Davis Cup quarter-final tie against France next month.
An elbow injury forced Murray to sit out the ongoing Miami Open, and the problem will
deprive GB of their world No 1 in Rouen between April 7-9.
Dan Evans, Kyle Edmund, Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot will instead bear the responsibility of taking on the French on the indoor clay of the Kindarena.
The quartet secured a first-round victory over Canada, but France's line-up includes two players in the top 25 singles ranking and also one of the game's most formidable doubles' pairs in Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
Team captain Leon Smith said: "This is a team with significant Davis Cup experience now and these guys have all stepped up and delivered performances at the very top of the competition.
"Not having Andy in the side is obviously a big loss to our team but most importantly we all wish him well for a speedy recovery back to full health and fitness. I know that he would really want to be here with the rest of the team.
"Facing France in a Davis Cup tie is a tough test for any group of players and this Rouen quarter-final will be no exception. They have the strongest depth of squad by far out of any nation in the competition."
Edmund's recent experience on clay outweighs that of higher-ranked Evans,whose only elite-level win on the surface came in a Davis Cup dead rubber in 2013.
But Smith said: "Dan's serve is good on any surface, his forehand can be a weapon, he obviously moves great so I don't see why he can't play well on it."
France are missing big names of their own with Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet injured new father Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also absent.
Mahut and Herbert are joined in the side by Lucas Pouille and Gilles Simon, ranked 15 and 25.
Nadal will not feature in Spain's team in Serbia, captain Conchita Martinez confirmed on Tuesday.
Spain will instead be represented by Pablo Carreno Busta (19th in the world rankings), Albert Ramos (24th), Marcel Granollers (41th) and doubles specialist Marc Lopez.
Spain, five-time Davis Cup champions, are eyeing a place in the semi-finals for the first time since 2012.

France vs Britain. Davis Cup QF
Dear oh dear! Kylie 2 sets down and a break vs Pouille and now serving to stay in the match. Annoyingly I forgot this was on BBC2 and seems the first 2 sets were hard fought at 7-5 7-6.
5-3 and Pouille serving for the match.....and Kylie sends 3 balls in a row long
The big-hitting Kyle Edmunds hit too big too often it would seem. He was 5-2 up in the TB but Pouille stepped up, got aggressive and grabbed his opportunities, says my Comms and praising Pouille and French players in general for their flair
Chardy vs Dan Evans might be another matter though, tho Comms think Jeremy the favourite- playing amazing tennis in practice all week says Lucas.
Gasquet & Herbert have shown up to watch altho Gasquet not playing, not sure about Herbert.

DAVIS CUP. France vs GB QF
Chardy is tearing poor Dan to pieces here and grew up on clay whereas Dan has hardly played let alone won a match on the dirt but Dan is such a great fighter and at 0-5 finally held serve then broke as Jeremy served for the first set!
Finding his feet rather better now and we're going with serve but
Andrew Castle cant help himself and is referring to Fed all the time . if he's not raving about his shots or his serve or his movement on any court, he's talking about his chances for another Slam, his amazing year so far, how funny he was in his Miami speech telling Rafa he'll tear him up on the clay knowing full well he wont be there

DAVIS CUP. France vs GB QF
Chardy played great and Dan (nick-named Ebo) fought all the way so can't ask for more. So Brits 0-2 down! All down to Murray and Inglot vs Mahut & Benneteau. My money is on the French as Inglot is the weakest link.
That's OK, France is the better team overall.

No. They are Kyle Edmunds, Dan Evans, Jamie Murray/Inglot for the doubles. 4th set at the doubles, France 2-1.

And France is at the SF. They won the 4th set 7-5. Very moving mostly for Benneteau, certainly his last DC.

Re: Davis Cup 2017
Such toxic tie this one between Netherlands and Bosnia/Herzegovina. Haase was leading 2 sets to love, 4-0 serving, lost both serves, then Dzumhur was serving for the set, lost his serve, so TB decided that set and Dzumhur won it 7-4. Many complaints from both sides, plenty of awful calls, no hawkeye there, annoying crowd etc.

Oh dear DT, sounds rather grim. What happened in the end?
I couldnt see anything today but really happy David Goffin won his match and ditto Kyrgios.
