Unfortunately, Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo will not participate in the upcoming Davis Cup Final 8 due to injuries.
Tennis Canada has confirmed that both athletes have stepped back from the competition scheduled to take place from November 24-29 in Bologna, Italy.
Shapovalov, hailing from Richmond Hill, Ontario, reported an adductor injury that he sustained earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Diallo, who faced a leg injury last summer, had to withdraw from a tournament last month while attempting to make his comeback. The Montreal native shared that he was not cleared by his doctors to compete in the Davis Cup.
In light of their absence, Alexis Galarneau from Laval, Quebec, and Keegan Rice from Regina will step in to join the Canadian team.
Leading the charge for Canada will be Félix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal, currently ranked world No. 14, alongside Liam Draxl from Newmarket, Ontario, and Duncan Chan from Markham, Ontario.
