Canada will be able to count on Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov, its two highest ranked ATP players, for the Davis Cup Finals, which will be held from November 22 to 27 in Malaga, Spain.
Tennis Canada made the announcement in a press release on Friday morning. Incidentally, the organization specified that Vasek Pospisil, Alexis Galarneau and Gabriel Diallo will complete the Canadian team.
The Davis Cup elimination stage will begin with the presentation of the quarter-finals in which eight countries will take part, namely Canada, Italy, the United States, Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Croatia and Spain.
On November 24, the maple leaf will face Germany as a curtain raiser. A victory for Team Canada will then put it against the winner of the meeting between the United States and Italy.

In Auger-Aliassime (10e), Shapovalov (20e) and Pospisil (121e), Canada will be able to count on three players who were part of the only Canadian team to reach the Davis Cup final, in Madrid, in 2019. Galarneau and Diallo respectively occupy the 218e and 250e world ranks.
Moreover, these three players have had some good times over the past few weeks, especially Auger-Aliassime. Now 10e in the world, the Montrealer recorded impressive victories against world number one Carlos Alcaraz, Serbian Novak Djokovic and against Matteo Berrettini, 15e world player.
Auger-Aliassime also won the second tournament of his career, last Sunday in Florence.
