Canada progressed to the Final 8 of the Davis Cup on Sunday, sweeping aside Great Britain 2-0 before a home crowd in Manchester, thanks to singles wins by Denis Shapovalov and Félix Auger-Aliassime.
Great Britain needed to sweep the 2022 champions in order to advance, but instead, it was Canada that emerged as Group C winners, having gone undefeated (3-0), beating Finland and Argentina beforehand. Canada’s match record was 7-1.
Shapovalov started Sunday’s tie with a 6-0, 7-5 win over Daniel Evans. Auger-Aliassime followed that up with a 7-6 (8), 7-5 win against Jack Draper, who previously defeated the Montrealer in a match in Cincinnati last month that ended in controversy.
The Final 8 tournament will take place in Malaga, Spain in November.
The U.S., Germany, Spain, Australia, and Argentina have also secured spots in the final, with Italy and the Netherlands likely to take the final two spots.
