In an electrifying match on Sunday, Canada powered into the Davis Cup quarterfinals for the third consecutive year, defeating Britain in their own backyard! 🇨🇦🔥
Playing in Manchester, all Canada needed was a single match win to top Group D and send the hosts packing. Denis Shapovalov stepped up to the plate and delivered a stellar performance, dismissing Britain's Dan Evans with a swift 6-0, 7-5 victory. And guess how he celebrated? By indulging in some well-deserved ice cream on the court! 🍦😎
\"It definitely wasn't easy to play against so many Britons,\" Shapovalov admitted, keeping his cool amidst a roaring crowd of around 15,000 British fans. \"I've experienced it in the past as well… I just tried to stay focused, tried to stay in my bubble and tried to stay ahead as much as I could because I could feel Dan getting pumped up and the crowd getting pumped up. It was definitely starting to turn, so I'm very happy I was able to get it done in straight sets.\"
Meanwhile, the Netherlands also advanced, despite a narrow defeat by defending champions Italy. The Davis Cup action is heating up, and we can't wait to see what's next! Who's ready for more world-class tennis? 🎾🔥
