The world No. 6 tennis player, France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga proved too much for Vancouver's Vasek Pospisil in the first match of the Davis Cup tie between France and Canada. Tsonga beat Pospisil 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 Feb. 10 at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in front of a raucous red-and-white coloured crowd. A high school marching band kept the energy high as did an appearance from the Green Men, dressed in Canucks jerseys and waving Canadian flags. A well-organized group of 40 French fans added to the noise. The Davis Cup continues through Sunday at the University of B.C. sports centre.
