The Miele Canadian Davis Cup squad consisting of Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, Ontario), Daniel Nestor (Toronto), Peter Polansky (Thornhill, Ontario) and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, Ontario) will battle the Dominican Republic in two singles matches on Friday, one doubles match on Saturday and two reverse singles matches on Sunday.

“I have three guys to choose from for singles and this team is probably the deepest and has the best singles players that we have had in a while,” said Laurendeau about his line-up choices. “Obviously the younger guys have played well lately so that is a factor in my decision but I know that Frank can jump in at any time and that is a great luxury.”      

A win for Canada against Dominican Republic would secure their spot in the Americas Zone Group I for 2011. The losing nation will be placed in Americas Zone Group II for next season. Only 16 countries entered in Davis Cup competition qualify for the elite World Group.
