Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil helps Canada tie Davis Cup series with Britain 1-1
OTTAWA — Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil has been looking for a turn around in his game. He may have found it at the Davis Cup.
Pospisil was stellar in a 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 win over Kyle Edmund on Friday, helping Canada tie Britain 1-1 in their Davis Cup World Group series after Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., dropped the first match of the day to Daniel Evans 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.
Pospisil, who has had his share of struggles over the past 12 months, finished his match with 19 aces and four double faults and gave the supportive Canadian crowd of 6,962 at TD Place a few fist pumps, which is somewhat out of character for him.
“I’ve been struggling of late to get some momentum and rhythm and matches and confidence and training really well and playing at a high level and then not necessarily executing and it’s been a bit frustrating,” said Pospisil. “I knew I was going to click at some point and hopefully this is a bit of a turning point for me.”
