It was a truly remarkable victory for Team Canada as technically they should not have been playing in the finals after they <strong>lost a qualifying tie to the Netherlands 0-4<\/strong> in March 2022. <\/p>\n<p>However, Canada received a pass after defending champions <strong>Russia was banned from the tournament due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine<\/strong>. Russia\u2019s disqualification gave Canada another chance and they grabbed it with both hands. <\/p>\n<p>Canada had a tough road to the championship as they faced Germany in the quarter-finals on 24 Nov and got past them to face Italy in the semi-finals on 25 Nov. They beat Italy to face Australia in the finals and went past Australia after they won both their single matches.<\/p>\n<p>Canada did have some things go their way as Germany was weakened by the absence of Alexander Zverev who won Olympic Gold while Italy did not have two of their top singles players as Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner were missing in action. <\/p>\n<p>Australia were without one of their biggest stars as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/nick-kyrgios-trial-adjourned-till-february-2023-on-mental-health-grounds\/\">Nick Kyrgios<\/a><\/strong> was out which made the road to victory a little easier for Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Canada will be pleased with the performance of <strong>Denis Shapovalov<\/strong> who beat <strong>Thanasi Kokkinakis<\/strong> <em>6-2, 6-4<\/em> and <strong>F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime<\/strong> who defeated the top ranked player in Australia <strong>Alex de Minaur<\/strong> <em>6-3, 6-2<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0gw__xS0WGQ?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Canadian PM Congratulates Team Canada<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau<\/strong> sent out a congratulatory tweet to Team Canada congratulating them on creating history with their first Davis Cup Championship. <\/p>\n<p>This win will give the game of tennis in Canada a much needed boost in popularity and motivate a lot of young <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/ca\/legal-canadian-online-betting-sites\">Canadians to play and bet on tennis<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">History was made on the court today \u2013 Canada has won its first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DavisCup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DavisCup<\/a> title.
