The Story
Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo will miss the Davis Cup Final 8 after withdrawing due to injuries, Tennis Canada said.
The tournament runs from Nov. 24 to 29 in Bologna, Italy. Tennis Canada said Shapovalov sustained an adductor injury earlier this month, while Diallo—who suffered a leg injury last summer—was forced to pull out of a tournament last month when he tried to return, and doctors did not clear him to play at Davis Cup.
Tennis Canada said Alexis Galarneau of Laval, Que., and Keegan Rice of Regina will replace them in the Canadian lineup.
Félix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal, listed as world No. 14, will headline the roster, along with Liam Draxl of Newmarket, Ont., and Duncan Chan of Markham, Ont.
