Italy – Canada of Davis Cup 2019 is played on Monday, November 18 at 4:00 pm. Here’s how to watch the match on TV and free streaming
Italy takes the field against Canada in the first match of Group G of Davis Cup 2019. From this year, the main tournament reserved for national tennis teams changes format: no longer spread over several months, but all gathered in one week (for the first two years it is held in Madrid) to ensure more advertising revenue and entertainment. The 18 strongest national teams in the world participate, divided into six groups of three national teams. The first six and the two best second qualify for the quarters, then the semifinals and the final (Sunday, November 24).
Italy was not very lucky with the draw and ended up in group G with the United States and Canada. The United States have summoned Taylor Fritz, Reilly Opelka, Sam Querrey, Frances Tiafoe, Jack Sock, while Canada arrives in Madrid with Denis Shapovalov, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Vasek Pospisil, Brayden Schnur. On paper two very competitive teams that can put in great difficulty our Matteo Berrettini, Fabio Fognini, Lorenzo Sonego, Andrea Seppi, Simone Bolelli. The first two should take the field for the singles, while Seppi-Bolelli should be the couple for the doubles. Italy is coming from the best season of the last twenty years, with a player in the top eight of the ATP rankings and who also played the ATP Finals (Berrettini), with a player in the top 15 (Fognini) and with the best talent under 18 (Sinner, who from today is in the top 80 of the ATP rankings).
