Dennis Shapovalov makes it to the finals in Denmark

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/tennis/canadian-tennis-star-shapovalov-advances-to-first-career-atp-final/ar-AAJ25Uh?li=AAggNb9

"

Shapovalov will play Filip Krajinovic of Serbia on Sunday for the title at the ATP 250 tournament.

No Canadian has won on the ATP Tour since Milos Raonic in Brisbane in January 2016.

Shapovalov was previously 0 for 7 in ATP semifinals before Saturday's win.'

 

Think they meant no Canadian man has won......

Shapo finished the job. Congrats to him on his first ATP title:

Too bad he didn't get to play this one, but a bit of rest won't hurt either. 

 

Sorry to hear that about Nadal...was looking forward to this match.  

 

Djokovic...a huge test but Shap's likely feeling pretty confident so will be looking forward to it!

Nice!

It was a case of World #150 beating #12, so it's pretty impressive.

 

Hopefully Shapo can get it done in his match, then the two of them close it out in doubles.

 

I know it's kind of being greedy, but if they can go 3-0, they can give somebody else some singles action and rest up the A-team for the Yanks on the weekend.

Looks like it's best of 3 and with Shapo winning his singles match they've clinched and presume they rested players for the doubles.

The same sportsnet article says they play the US tomorrow.  The matches are coming fast and furious.

Pospisil with yet another upset, putting Canada up 1-0 over the Americans

 

I think it's safe to say that the back injury has healed and his 150th rank was somewhat misleading....

 

Hopefully Shapo can close the deal against Fritz

Still in awe that Pospisil and Shapovalov have basically tag-teamed their way to the Davis Cup semifinal.


Serbia with Djokovic would be a huge test in the semis, but they've risen to the challenge multiple times already.

And as if the stars truly are aligning, Russia has knocked off the Serbs. https://www.sportsnet.ca/tennis/russia-edges-djokovic-led-serbia-reach-davis-cup-semifinals/

 

Not that facing Russia will be easy by any stretch, but the Canadians have to be happy that they don't have to face Joker.....

I like this new format, where the teams are all in the same spot, and playing to decide the winner there.  This is more like a tennis tournament.
