Canada beat Australia to win first Davis Cup title

Canada won their first Davis Cup title on Sunday after Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Australia’s Alex de Minaur 6-3 6-4 to give them an unassailable 2-0 lead in Malaga, Spain.

The world number six showed his prodigious talent once again as he produced 16 winners compared to five from his opponent and basked in the cheers of his compatriots as he struck a lethal forehand to clinch the title.

“The emotions are tough to describe. All of us here – we’ve dreamt of this moment,” Auger-Aliassime said in a televised interview. “It’s really a dream come true.”
