Canada’s incredible run continued at the Davis Cup with an intense tie-break semifinal victory over Russia to advance to the final for the first time in history.
Denis Shapovalov and Vasek Pospisil defeated Russian duo Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov in dramatic fashion, 6-3, 3-6, 6-6 (7-5).
“I have no words, it’s unbelievable,” Shapovalov said on the broadcast after the match.
Canada entered the tournament ranked No.13, and its storybook run to the final included wins over No. 10 Italy, No. 6 United States, No. 9 Australia, and today’s history writing tie-break win against Russia.
Canada will face the winner of the second semifinal between Great Britain or Spain this afternoon.
