109 years later, Canada claimed its first Davis Cup

Sweden has seven Davis Cup victories. Spain has achieved six victories in the historic tournament. When the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga were decided for the first time, Canada won after a very convincing final victory over Australia.

The Martín Carpena Sports Hall in Malaga has been the stage for the tennis world over the past week. And so it will be next year too, when Málaga will host the Davis Cup finals with a quarter-final, semi-final and final.

It is already clear that the final duo of the year, Canada and Australia, will have a wild card with Italy and Spain until 2023. For Sweden, the first qualification match against Bosnia and Herzegovina awaits in February 2023.

Anyone who watched the Davis Cup ceremony in Malaga can tell that a new generation of tennis stars is stepping forward. Shapovalov, 23, and Auger Aliassime, 22, helped win Canada’s first Davis Cup title.

There was a good atmosphere in the stands, not least in the quarter-finals of Spain when there was live music after every point played. The competition was witnessed by a total of 61,916 people, which means an average of 10,000 spectators per day from Tuesday to Sunday.

Among the attendees on Sunday was former world number one Novak Djokovic, who owns a home in Marbella. His son and brother Marco were also there.

Former footballer Gerard Pique, who recently ended his career, was present as well as the president of the Andalucia region, Juanma Moreno, and the regional sports advisor, Arturo Bernal;
