Default Stringing insights from the Canadian Davis Cup stringer

Talked to Yvon Gilbert (Head stringer for Davis Cup since 1999, head of Roger's Cup tournament stringing since 1980)
Work habits, player setups, traveling with equipment, etc.

Interesting to see that all three players use low tensions. Milos is a huge hitter and he is around 40 pounds.
