Davis Cup Finals Day 4 – Canada tries to stay alive (final results)

–

After beint swept by Kazakhstan without having managed to win a set, Canada’s chances of advancing past the group stages automatically got pretty slim.

They need to make a big move against Kazakhstan Sunday – which is arguably a stronger team thann Sweden – and defeated them Saturday.

Some of the marquee matchups, in ideal times, would have been Russia vs. Spain and Germany vs Austria. But with players like Rafael Nadal, Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem all absent, they become significantly less lustrous.
