You know that you’re fan of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas when…

You feared this moment and now it’s happening: it’s the last competition of the 2015 tennis season. Thankfully, as every year, it ends with a firework: your favourite competition, the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas.

…To solitary pleasure, you prefer collective pleasure.

…Your favourite kitchen accessory? The bowl of course.

...You’re Swedish.

…Your name is Jonas Björkman.

…Your favourite clothing brand is Lacoste.

…Besides, for you, before being a clothing brand, it’s above and foremost a legendary winner of the Davis Cup Cochet and Borotra.

…You even know that at the time, you weren’t winning the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas but the International Lawn Tennis Challenge.

…You like your coach on a bench, not in the stands.

…Besides, you call him « captain », not coach.

…You like fairs, bandanas and stupid songs "Popopopopopop pololo... OLEEEEE !"

…Tennis has to be played over the weekend. You’re busy during the week. Having a job and all.

…Your very own loser country is Argentina. Two lost finals, insane.

…You prefer bromance to romance. 

… You love going on tour with the lads. Bring on the stag parties.

…You’re proud to say that it’s one of the oldest competitions between countries. Copa America? Never heard of it.

…You have so much respect for the Indian team that decided not to try and win a title rather than challenge South Africa during Apartheid in 1974.

…You shave your head on the court after a team victory.

…Your name is Rafael Nadal.

…The quote « I lost a battle, not the war » has to be your favourite one.

…You like wedding cakes.

…You’re German and you think that without the fall of the wall, your prize list would be ever better.

…You’re a former American player. Or Australian.

…You are in the World Top 10 in doubles.

…You are one of the Bryans brothers. It also works.

…You are a girl and you like the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas.

…For you, a weekend, it’s three days, not two.

…Your name is Mikhail Youzhny

…You take your Friday afternoon off, the Saturday you do everything in double, Sunday is made to pray, hands together around a racquet handle.
