What is at stake?
The winning nation secures its spot in the Davis Cup Finals. This is a World Group II qualifier, the second round of the Davis Cup qualifying structure.
Why does this matter for Canadian tennis?
A Davis Cup tie at home provides Canada with a significant advantage and gives Auger-Aliassime and his teammates the opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd. Quebec City's last Davis Cup tie occurred in 1974, making this event a notable return for the province after more than 50 years.
