Great Britain's chances of advancing in the Davis Cup Finals have ended after Dan Evans and Jack Draper both faced defeats against a formidable Canadian team. Leon Smith's squad needed a 3-0 victory over Canada in Manchester to move on to the knockout rounds in Malaga this November.
However, their elimination was confirmed early on Sunday when Evans lost 6-0 7-5 to Denis Shapovalov, ensuring that GB would not finish in the top two of Group D.
This was followed by Jack Draper's loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime, with a score of 7-6 (10-8) 7-5.
