SYDNEY : Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime put in commanding performances against Spanish opponents to win their respective singles matches and fire Canada to the ATP Cup title on Sunday.
World number 11 Auger-Aliassime then served strongly to take down Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6 6-3 and give Canada an unassailable 2-0 lead in the tie. But Felix Auger-Aliassime and Shapovalov, who had contracted the novel coronavirus in the leadup to the tournament, bounced back with tie wins over Britain, Germany and then last year's winners Russia.
"I think that's very important. We trust each other to the highest level ... it came down to the perfect result. I'm super thrilled for everybody in the whole team and myself, of course."
