MADRID - Denis Shapovalov described it as “ridiculous” and captain Frank Dancevic admitted he almost blacked out as Canada beat Russia to reach their first Davis Cup final on Saturday.
That was all forgotten though as he and the 29-year-old Pospisil, who is ranked 150 after missing six months this year because of back surgery, held their nerve after the tie boiled down to a third-set tiebreak. “I think we just absolutely played ridiculous tennis. I’m super-stoked to be in the final. It’s one of my dreams, you know, to play in the Davis Cup final.”
Pospisil lost 6-4 6-4 to Rublev on Saturday but left-hander Shapovalov, whose parents are Russian, stepped up to level the tie, showing great tenacity to beat Khachanov 6-4 4-6 6-4.
