Lol, I was going to say I don't think we'll need backups for this one, these rubbers almost always get played out. I've never seen a rubber forfeited, even if players can't go, they'll just sub someone else in. Like one year one of the Bryan brothers wasn't feeling well, so they subbed in either Isner or Querrey to play with the other one for doubles.

The only way a backup would be required is if the whole team did not show up.

If Italy lose the field is down to 2 after one round

Lol, that's crazy, but I can't see the Italians losing. Everyone of their players are ranked higher than the opposition, and considerably so. Also, they're at home and it's on clay.

Yes, even if they lose the doubles, it would take a minor miracle for Italy to lose the singles ties - it's a pretty straightforward pick for most people it seems.

True, but they are possibly strong enough to win QFs and beyond. Do you really want to use that bullet this early???

I'm the Stan of this tour so far - this is still Davis Cup so I'm playing safe. I only show up for "Tier 1s"
