“Representing Canada has and always will be a priority of mine, and I have so many great Davis Cup memories in my career already,” said Shapovalov in a release recently. “However, having missed a substantial amount of time last season with an injury, I am now at the beginning of my comeback.

“I need to focus on finding my rhythm again and making sure that I can get back to my best level as fast as possible. Best of luck to the team. I know the guys have what it takes to get us through to the group stage.”

It will be interesting to see how Raonic will perform in the competition as he will be joining Team Canada after having a rather below-par outing in the ongoing Australian Open where he was knocked out of the competition after having to retire in the first-round tie against Australia’s Alex de Minaur.
