Davis Cup 2024: Results, schedule, final group standings and format
Shapovalov silenced the crowd with an immediate break of serve and it went downhill from there for Evans in a first set where he won only nine points and appeared to give up in the final game.
He dug in at the start of the decider but his only chance came with two break points in the ninth game, both of which were saved by Shapovalov.
The result means Canada join Argentina in qualifying for the last eight event in Malaga in November.
Here’s everything you need to know.
