Sydney: Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov guided Canada to its maiden ATP Cup final, defeating world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev and Roman Safiullin 4-6, 7-5, 10-7 to complete their country’s 2-1 win against Russia here on Saturday.
Canada will meet two-time finalists Spain in Sunday’s final clash. The Canadians lost their first four matches of the competition, putting their hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds in trouble.
If the United States had beaten Great Britain in the Match Tie-break of their deciding doubles on January 6, Canada would have been eliminated before playing their third match.
