MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Russia, Australia, the U.S. and Switzerland make their entrance on the second day of the BJK Cup Finals.

Meanwhile, a short turnaround for Canada after they rested and recovered from an impressive win over France Monday – and tried to duplicate that against more of a powerhouse team in Russia.

They couldn’t do it. Just too tough.

And in a surprise upset, Slovakia beat the U.S.; it came down to 12-10 in the match tiebreak in the doubles.
