After winning their first Davis Cup title in 2022, Canada will once again lean on Felix Auger-Aliassime in their bid to recapture national glory at the 2024 edition of the tournament.
Canada overcame Australia two years ago to win it's maiden Davis Cup trophy, with Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov securing wins over Thanasi Kokkinakis and Alex De Minaur respectively in the singles rubber. This was enough to give the Canadian's an unassailable 2-0 lead, ensuring they would leave Malaga, Spain with the title.
Auger-Aliassime returns, alongside a resurgent Raonic
The former World No.6 has been tasked to lead Canada to glory once again. Auger-Aliassime will lead his compatriots at the Davis Cup Finals Group stage, which is slated to run from September 10-15 in Manchester, Great Britain. The Montreal native will be joined by Shapovalov, who played an instrumental role in their victory two years ago.
Former Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic has also been selected to the team. The 33-year old had been dealing with injuries over the last few years but is slowly regaining his form. Raonic's 2024 season has seen him reach the quarterfinals in Rotterdam, in addition to making the final eight in S-Hertogenbosch earlier this summer.
Team Canada will also feature veteran Vasek Pospisil, and doubles specialist Gabriel Diallo. Canada has been placed in Group D alongside Finland, Argentina and host nation Great Britain.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
