In addition to the two singles matches Friday, a doubles match will be played Saturday and, if necessary, the inverse of Friday’s singles matches will be played Sunday. The format is the first to three wins, and France is favored to win it all with the deeper roster.
That roster includes Tsonga, Lucas Pouille, Pierre-Hugues Herbert, and Nicolas Mahut. Belgium features the best player of the bunch in Goffin but a weaker supporting cast in Steve Darcis, Ruben Bemelmans, and Arthur De Greef.
Goffin is coming off wins over Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the ATP World Tour finals in London. He should be able to beat Pouille in one-on-one competition and will be favored over Tsonga, but Darcis will definitely be fighting an uphill battle to win his singles matches.
Then there’s the doubles match, where Herbert and Mahut are extremely good and will be the toughest to beat for Belgium.
Below is the full viewing information, including streaming links, for the three days of Davis Cup action.
