Canada reach final

-

Felix Auger-Aliassime led Canada to their second ever Davis Cup final after winning both his singles and doubles rubbers in a 2-1 fightback over Italy in Malaga, Spain, yesterday. Auger-Aliassime, 22, whose four career titles have all come this year, will look to finish off his season by leading Canada to their first Davis Cup title overnight when they face Australia. Lorenzo Sonego ground out a 7-6 (4) 6-7 (5) 6-4 victory over Denis Shapovalov to put Italy ahead. Auger-Aliassime pulled the Canadians level by seeing off Lorenzo Musetti 6-3 6-4 then teamed up with Vasek Pospisil to beat Matteo Berrettini and Fabio Fognini 7-6 (2) 7-5.
