Davis Cup final: Nadal 2-0 Shapovalov

Rafael Nadal has led Spain to claim the Davis Cup title, after securing a straight sets victory over Canada’s Denis Shapovalov in front of a jubilant home crowd at Caja Magica in Madrid. 

In the first tie of the final showdown between Spain and Canada, Roberto Bautista Agut, who was playing three days after the demise of his father, defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6, 6-3 to give his country a tight grip on the championship.

It was a grip Nadal refused to relinquish in the second tie, as the 33-year-old world number one ensured the doubles would not be needed when he overcame the spirited challenge of the promising Shapovalov 6-3, 7-6, to seal the sixth Davis Cup title for Spain.
