Elite Canadian tennis players selected to compete at Davis Cup Final 8

Félix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, Gabriel Diallo, Alexis Galarneau and Vasek Pospisil to represent Team Canada at the Davis Cup Final 8


Tennis Canada announced today that Félix Auger-Aliassime (Montréal, QC), Denis Shapovalov (Richmond Hill, ON), Gabriel Diallo (Montréal, QC), Alexis Galarneau (Laval, QC) and Vasek Pospisil (Vernon, BC) will represent Team Canada in the Davis Cup Final 8. Captain Frank Dancevic will lead the quintet, which is unchanged from its successful Group Stage campaign in Manchester, UK earlier this month, to Malaga, Spain for the event, which takes place from November 19 to 24.

“This group has shown time and again that it can compete at the highest level,” Dancevic said. “It’s the same five players that brought home the Davis Cup trophy for the very first time in 2022 and enjoyed a great week in Manchester to seal our place in this year’s quarter-finals. So, we will head to Malaga knowing we have tough matches ahead of us, but with confidence that we can reach our goal.”

This is World No. 21 Félix Auger-Aliassime’s eighth Davis Cup selection, and he holds an impressive 13-4 record. This season, he reached the final of the Madrid Masters 1000 and the fourth round of Roland-Garros, where he collided with eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz. At the Paris Olympics, the Montrealer took home the bronze medal in mixed doubles with Gabriela Dabrowski and finished fourth in singles. In Manchester, he won all three of his singles matches in straight sets, against Argentina’s Sebastian Baez, Finland’s Otto Virtanen and Great Britain’s Jack Draper respectively.

At 22 years old, Gabriel Diallo is the youngest team member. He recently hit a career-high ranking of No. 105 thanks to a remarkable season during which he qualified for his first Grand Slam main draw in Paris and then again at the US Open, where he fought his way into the third round before falling to Tommy Paul in four sets. He also raised the winner’s trophy at the Chicago Challenger. The Montrealer will be playing in his seventh Davis Cup and has a 4-4 record.

This will be No. 254 Alexis Galarneau’s eighth Davis Cup selection. In the 2023 Group Stage, his perfect 5-0 record helped Canada qualify for the Final 8. This year, the 25-year-old reached a career-high ranking of No. 153 and was a finalist at the Mexico City Challenger.

Vasek Pospisil—Canada’s second most prolific Davis Cup player—has been part of the national squad 28 times. The former No. 25 in singles and No. 4 in doubles will land in Malaga with a 32-27 record in 34 ties. In 2024, the 34-year-old British Columbian has played predominantly in Challenger tournaments, reaching the quarter-finals of the Morelos Open Challenger in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in April.
