We can have a north-of-the-border TAT-event.

Won't happen

Vancouver prepares Davis Cup bid

Montreal, which had large crowds for the ATP Tour Rogers Cup in August, would have been a logical choice to host the tie if it wasn’t again France.

“That would be like a neutral site,” said Clark. “Why would we make it easy on them? As much as Canadians can be great hosts, we don’t want to make (the French) feel warm and comfy.”

With Toronto being down the list when the players were asked for input on where they’d like to play, Clark figures Vancouver’s toughest rival could be Calgary.

“That would be the bid I’d worry about the most,” said Clark. “They just seem to find ways of getting money to things like this.”
