A record crowd turnover was not enough for the Great Britain side, which crashed out of the race for a spot in the quarterfinal of the Davis Cup. The team-based competition is moving towards a conclusion, and the remaining teams are
giving their all to secure the ultimate prize.
On Sunday, Great Britain was left embarrassed as they
crashed out of the competition after losing to Canada with a score of 2-1. That
embarrassment occurred in front of a record crowd of 15,700, more
than Wimbledon’s Centre Court capacity.
The winning side, which cemented its place in the quarterfinal after winning all three ties, emerged victorious in both singles category contests against the Great Britain team. First, it was Denis Shapovalov, who
defeated Dan Evans in straight sets with a score of 6-0, 7-5. The 25-year-old
ended up producing 19 winners, 10 more than Evans. He went on to produce six
aces, four more than the British tennis star.
In the other singles category contest, it was Felix Auger
Aliassime who came out on top against Britain’s Jack Draper in straight sets
with a score of 7-6, 7-5. In that contest, Auger Aliassime produced 25 winners,
10 more than his opponent. He produced eight aces as well. In comparison, Draper
produced seven aces.
The only contest in which Great Britain emerged victorious was
the doubles event. The pair of Henry Patten and Neal Skupski defeated the pair
of Gabriel Diallo and Alexis Galarneau in straight sets with a score of 7-6,
6-4. The winning pair committed 18 unforced
errors in the match, seven fewer than their opponent. Previously, Great Britain
also lost to Argentina with a score of 2-1.
The second team to
qualify for the quarterfinal was Argentina. They defeated Finland in their last
encounter with a score of 3-0 in their last outing. Before that, Argentina
defeated Great Britain with a score of 2-1 as well.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
