Vasek Pospisil
Vasek Pospisil, alongside 2018 retiree Daniel Nestor, in Davis Cup doubles action against Croats Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig. Team Canada held a two-sets-and-a-break lead before dropping a 2-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 decision. Extra points for the acrobatic quadruple (maybe quintuple) axel that this poor racquet landed in the red clay.
