Canada will have home-court advantage in its bid to stay
among the worlds best tennis countries. Canada will host
Colombia in a Sept. 12-14 tie, with the winner starting
Davis Cup play in the World Group next year. The location
of the best-of-five competition has yet to be announced,
but hosting the tie is a definite advantage for Canada,
says the team captain. "The number one thing I think we
were hoping for was to play at home," Martin Larendeau
said Tuesday on a conference call. "Weve seen over the
last few years when we play at home, our odds increase
dramatically." Canada beat both Spain and Italy indoors
in Vancouver last year to reach the semifinals for the
first time in history before bowing out to Serbia. The
Davis Cup, founded in 1900, is the touted as the largest
annual international team competition in sport with 122
countries participating in 2014. A tie consists of two
singles matches on the first day, a doubles match on Day
2 and concludes with a pair of singles matches on the
third day. The ascension of Milos Raonic of Thornhill,
Ont., and Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver in mens singles, as
well as the work of tireless and decorated doubles
veteran Daniel Nestor of Toronto, turned Canada into a
consistent Davis Cup threat in recent years. Canada
started this years Davis Cup in the World Group for a
third straight year. Beset by injuries, however, Canada
lost 4-1 to Japan in Tokyo in February. Raonic and
Pospisil didnt play at all and Frank Dancevic of Niagara
Falls, Ont., retired in the second set of a singles match
on the final day because of a stomach injury. So Japan
advanced to the quarter-finals, while Canada must win the
playoff versus Colombia to start 2015 in the World Group
again. Canada fell 4-1 to Colombia in Bogota the last
time the two countries met in 2010. Because that tie was
played on the road, its Canadas turn to host the South
Americans. The Canadians need to leverage a friendly,
familiar venue into a victory, lest they drop into
Americas Group 1 qualifying matches next year. "I dont
think anybody wants to go back to Group 1, where we would
have to face a lot of South Americans teams and away ties
and stuff," Larendeau said. "We have to make the most of
this window to play a South American team at home.
Everyone is keen on us staying in the World Group. "Our
reference for us is going to be the matches last February
and last April when we played at home. I think its going
to bring a lot of good feelings back to play at home and
hopefully that will put the guys in a productive frame of
mind." Tennis Canada will announce the location at a
later date. Larendeau says he and the athletes will have
some input into the location, but not the final say. "The
good thing about playing in September is we have options
to play indoors or outdoors. Its something we dont have
when we play in February or even April," the Laurendeau
said. "We need the players feedback to see how they think
theyre going to match up in altitude, sea level, indoors,
outdoors. The players and myself have a bit of a say on
where wed like to play, but it doesnt come down to that.
"Theres executive decisions and theres also a
marketplace, theres also promoting the game in cities or
in areas that are not able to see a lot of tennis. Theres
a lot of factors that go in, but our job is to come up to
the board of directors and president and say these are
the conditions wed like to play in and lets work on the
venue now." Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal are
previous Canadian host cities of World Group ties. Canada
is seeded No. 8, while Colombia is ranked No. 26 in Davis
Cup. Raonic is currently No. 11 in ATP mens singles and
Pospisil is 28th. Colombia doesnt have a singles player
in the worlds top 50, but the doubles team of Juan-
Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is formidable. That duo
lost the final of last months Sony Open to world No. 1
Bob and Mike Bryan of the U.S. "I think Colombia is a
very tough team," Larendeau said. "They have a lot of
depth, they have an excellent doubles team and they have
a lot of experience in singles play."

Brazilian opponents said he produced miracles. There is
no doubt that Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa was the
one responsible for spoiling Brazils hopes of another
World Cup victory at its home tournament. FRANKFURT,
Germany -- Hoffenheim scored three goals in quick
succession late in the first half to beat Wolfsburg 6-2
in the Bundesliga on Sunday and dent its hopes of
qualifying for the Champions League. In the late match,
Alexander Meier scored in the 89th minute to give
Eintracht Frankfurt a 2-1 comeback victory over
Stuttgart, which fell to its eighth consecutive defeat
and is now one place above the danger zone. Hoffenheim is
the third highest scoring team in the Bundesliga after
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund and it took only four
minutes for Roberto Firmino to put the host side ahead
with a perfectly weighted lob. Bas Dost equalized for
Wolfsburg in the 15th with a header. Niklas Suele began
the three-goal flurry with a header in the 37th. Anthony
Modeste then scored twice, with a low shot in the 39th
and a header in the 43rd. Ivan Perisic pulled one back
for Wolfsburg, before the home side struck twice more.
Sejad Salihovic converted a penalty and Sven Schipplock
completed the win. Wolfsburg finished with 10 men, after
Christian Traesch was sent off in the 80th for a foul on
Kevin Vollland that resulted in the penalty.dddddddddddd
Hoffenheim, undefeated in five games, ended Wolfsburgs
run of four consecutive wins and prevented the visiting
team from overtaking fourth-place Schalke. Wolfsburg
remained fifth and Hoffenheim 10th. In Frankfurt,
Stuttgart went ahead in the 31st minute after Eintracht
lost possession in midfield. Alexandru Maxim found Martin
Harnik on the left and the midfielder slotted low inside
the near post. Stuttgarts goalkeeper Sven Ulreich went on
to make several outstanding saves, including a one-handed
tip-away from a header by Stefan Aigner. But it was his
kick-in that resulted in Frankfurts equalizer in the 80th
through substitute striker Jan Rosenthal. Marco Russ
headed the ball from the centre circle back into
Stuttgarts half and Rosenthal raced through to slot past
Ulreich. Eintracht secured the win in the 89th when
Johannes Flum slipped the ball through the legs of Georg
Niedermeier and squared it back for Meier, who drove it
home with a low shot. Eintracht jumped to 12th place and
is six points away from the relegation playoff place.
