Canada enters a small group of Davis Cup champion nations. A hundred-year-old tournament that has only fielded sixteen countries, partly because it was initially monopolized by the United States and Australia, with brief periods by Great Britain and France, with a system in which the champion qualifies directly host the final, under your conditions.
Australia, for example, snatched the glory on the grass and at home from Santana, Gisbert, Arilla, Couder and Orantes. The appearance of the World Group in 1981 democratized competition, opened up the land of opportunities. Spain inaugurated the list of winners in 2000, with Alex Corretja, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Albert Costa and Joan Balcells triumphed over Australia at the Palau Sant Jordi. In the captaincy, the G-4 with Javier ‘Dudu’ Duarte, Juan Avendaño, Josep Perlas and Jordi Vilaró.
In 2019 the format of the Finals was released, in Madrid and with the victory of Espanyol (Rafael Nadal, Roberto Bautista, Pablo Carreño, Feliciano López and Marcel Granollerswith the Sergi Bruguera to the captain). From 2021 there is a group stage of the Finals, which is shared in several places, and the final 8 Final, with qualifiers from the quarterfinals. In March the confrontations were argued to supplement the quota of participants, played in the country of one of the participants, more than the old-fashioned way.
By 2023, Canada and Australia have qualified for the Finals, as champion and finalist, respectively, as well as Spain and Italy, receiving two invitations issued by the organization.
Canada received one in 2021 and took the ‘silver salad bowl’. This is the ninth national champion in the last nine editions, none to repeat since the Czech Republic did the double in 2012 and 2013.
