Japan-France will be like a walk in the park for Les Bleus who play without Monfils and Tsonga but will face a Japanese team without Nishikori. Singles should be played by Simon and Gasquet against Soeda and Sugita.
Croatia will host Spain (without Nadal), Canada (without Raonic) receive UK (with Evans but without Murray).
Other interesting tie will feature Australia vs. Czech Rep: surprisingly Tomic won't be part of it, but Kyrgios and Thompson (first time) will play. Berdych will also be absent, Vesely and old Stepanek will team.
USA (Sock, Isner, Johnson, Querrey) will cruise against Switzerland (without Federer and Wawrinka).

These are the Betfair odds for 2017, hopefully France won't disappoint yet again? I back them to win the trophy.

Can't really predict the winner this year as many of the teams are subject to changes through each stage, but it looks like an interesting line up. USA should have an easy time for sure, Aus vs. Czech will be interesting.

All joking aside if Raonic plays it could be very close, I assume he wins 2 and the number 2 loses 2 with all on the dubs. Pospisil could worry Evans.

Croatia without Karlovic, Cilic, Coric and Dodig is taking on Spain's Carenno-Busta, Bautista-Agut, Feli Lopez and Marc Lopez.

I think Djokovic is playing.
2nd match on tomorrow with Medvedev (play starts at 3 pm local.) Sunday is Khachanov at 2 pm local. Medvedev just made final of Chennai. Khachanov won Chengdu last Fall. Djokovic hasn't played either.

Kohlie just went from 2-5 down in the fifth set tie break to 5-5 against Darcis. Looks like an exciting finish.

Edit: Darcis takes the match with 7-5 in the tie break. I feel bad for the locals. :)
