MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Rafael Nadal guided the Spanish national tennis team to its sixth Davis Cup on Sunday with a win against Canadian Denis Shapovalov, taking a 2-0 tally over the Canadian national tennis team.
Playing on home soil, at La Caja Magica stadium in Madrid, Nadal maintained an upper hand throughout, with the final scoresheet reading 6-3, 7-6, (9-7).

Earlier on Sunday, Roberto Bautista Agut defeated 19-year-old Canadian Felix Augier-Aliassime with a score of 7-6, (7-3), 6-3 in a hard-fought match.

​Spain had beaten Britain in the semi-finals while Canada had to overcome Russia to play in the finals of the revamped Davis Cup tournament.

After the format of the competition was changed for the 2019 edition, the finals featured 18 teams, which competed in six groups of three.
