Thanks! Yes Canada has had a very good year in team tennis. We started by winning the ATP Cup in Australia in January, beating Russia in the semi's and Spain in the final. Then Felix Auger-Aliassime was an instrumental part of Team World winning the Laver Cup in September, Teaming up with Jack Sock to beat Murray and Berrettini in doubles, then beating Noval Djokovic in straight sets in singles on day 3.
Now to win the Davis Cup for the first time, an event that we have been competing in since 1913, well that was a great end to the tennis year for me.
As an aside, Felix also beat Nadal at the ATP finals, so that makes him the first (and only now) player born after the year 2000 to beat all of the big three...Federer (who he beat in Halle last year), Djokovic, and Nadal. His streak of 3 titles in a row (and making the semis in the event after that) this fall has put him solidly in the top 10, and I think he is going to contend for majors very soon.
Shout out to Denis Shapovalov who played a very controlled match against Kokkinakis yesterday, and of course Vasek Pospisil, who is the veteran of our Davis Cup team now - he always comes through in doubles, and back in 2019 when we made the final and lost to Spain, he came through big time in singles as well.
