A shame it had to end like that, maybe with hindsight the Canadian captain should have gone with the more experienced Polanski.

Oh man. That's going to be a major blemish for Shapovalov.
He's going to face some serious consequences from the ATP and possibly Team Canada for upcoming matches.
That's going to be a tough pill for him to swallow.

No one is nicer or carries themselves better for a 17 y/o than Shapovalov. Everyone can see that today was an accident. Can happen to anyone

I completely blame the Canadian Captain for putting in such a Young inexperienced player in the Deciding 5th rubber in World group Davis cup match.................... Shapavolav had no business playing in this rubber against such a hot up and coming experienced player from England..

No tweet yet from Pospisil expressing concern for the chair umpire. Did Shapovalov mean to hit the umpire? Of course not. Could this happen to anyone? Nope. Only someone who in anger recklessly hits a ball at a high velocity in a crowded stadium.

Shapovalov: "I would like to begin by apologising to the referee (umpire) and all the officials. It's unacceptable behaviour from me. I feel incredibly ashamed. I promise that's the last time I'll do anything like that."

Raonic had no business pulling out. Can we blame him instead?
Nostradamus

No, Raonic is just a selfish man that wants to defect to England or USA so that he can make tons more money in endorsements....... he can't be counted on for Davis cup,, and the captain knows this.

Fingers crossed he will be okay. I hope this will serve as a suitable warning for every player on tour to control themselves no matter how frustrated they may be feeling. Many players have done this but have been lucky that no-one got hurt. Now we have our first example. Luck like this can easily run out with awful consequences.

Raonic is nursing an injury. He had already reported it at the AO so I doubt he was just using it as an excuse.

Roman???
Oh, you mean Peter Polansky. He's healthy enough to be in the draw at the SF Challenger after retiring 1R AO vs PCB. In hindsight, I guess he could have been an option.

He was the only other real option on the team.

why did they play a super tie-break instead of a 3rd set in the SRB-RUS dead rubber ? i didn't know it was allowed... 
lajovic d. kravchuk 6-3 4-6 10-2
(at least it appears like that in the live scoreboard)
good (and unexpected) win for darcis over the young zverev !
would have been painful to lose after his "mistaken celebration"

yeah, a little odd, but not just Pospisil...a lot of players coming out to defend Shapovalov, but not mentioning umpire

He has no activity yet in '17 so he may be injured...Polansky is much higher ranked now (120s vs 250s) and quite a lot higher than Shapovalov so Polansky's injury status may have forced the decision.

Better than nothing, I suppose. Did someone give him some PR advice? How does he know the umpire will be OK? "Such an unfortunate incident" again shows he does not put any blame on Shapovalov.

I seriously suggest that for the sake of health and safety regulations all umpires should wear full protective head gear for all matches from now on....

May I know why is Fognini playing the decider and not Seppi who is in way better form ? Going out after being 2-0 up and having MP in the doubles to make it to QF ?

Fognini thrives on adversity, I can recall him down 2 sets a few times and coming back to win.
Though my friend Guillermo Vilas would never let this happen to him in Argentina !!!!!
