History

The Canadian Davis Cup team represents Canada in Davis Cup tennis competition and is governed by Tennis Canada. The team's best result ever came in 2022 when they won the title by the score of 2–0 over Australia. Canada also reached the final in 2019, and the semifinals in its first appearance in 1913 (where they lost 0–3 to the United States) and in 2013 (where they lost 2–3 to Serbia).

Canada competed in its first Davis Cup in 1913. The team won its first tie, played in June at the Queen's Club, London over South Africa by a score of 4–1. The team consisted of just two players, Robert Powell and Bernard Schwengers. Canada then in July easily defeated Belgium in the semifinals 4–0. In the playoff final however, played a week later, they lost all three matches to the Americans in straight sets (The Americans went on to defeat Great Britain in the challenge round, to win the competition). Canada did not play a World Group tie from 1921 until 1991, when the team lost 1–4 away to Spain. The following year, again in the World Group first round, Canada came closer to advancing, going down 2–3 at home to Sweden despite taking a first-day 2–0 lead. The tie was highlighted by a surprise singles win of rookie Daniel Nestor over superstar and then world No. 1 ranked Stefan Edberg. Nestor could not repeat the magic, however, losing in the deciding rubber match in 5 sets to Magnus Gustafsson. In 2004, Canada fell to the Netherlands 1–4 in the World Group first round. Canada secured its spot in the World Group in 2013, and for the second straight year, with a 4–1 victory over South Africa in the playoffs in September. Canada had only played two straight years in the World Group one other time in its history before that, in 1991–92.

In 2011, Canada defeated the Israel Davis Cup team 3–2 at the Canada Stadium in Ramat Hasharon, Israel to qualify for the 2012 Davis Cup World Group. In 2012, Canada played against France in the first round of the World Group, but lost 1–4. In 2013, Canada upset the No. 1 ranked tennis nation Spain 3–2 in the first round of the World Group, the first win ever for Canada at that stage in the Open Era. Canada then defeated in April Italy 3–1 in the quarterfinals to reach the second semifinal of its history, the first in the Open Era. Canada was eliminated 2–3 by Serbia in the semifinals in September. Canada won the relegation playoff and earned its place in the 2014 World Group for a third straight year, a record. In 2014, a very diminished Canadian team lost in the World Group first round to Japan 1–4 as both Raonic and Pospisil were injured and not able to play. Canada then had to play a playoff in September against Colombia to stay in the World Group next year. They won the tie 3–2 meaning that Canada will play in the World Group for the fourth straight year. In 2015, Canada had their revenge over Japan with a 3–2 win in the first round of the World Group. Canada next played its quarterfinal tie in July but, without its two best singles players Raonic and Pospisil who were both injured, fell 0–5 to Belgium on the road. In 2016, Canada played its World Group first round against France. Again, without its best player Raonic who was out because of an adductor injury and Nestor not able to play for personal reasons, Canada was defeated by a score of 0–5. They next played a playoff tie in September against Chile, winning by the score of 5–0 and securing Canada's place in the World Group for the sixth straight year. In 2017, Canada, once again without Raonic, lost for the second straight year in the first round of the World Group to Great Britain. In the rubber opposing Great Britain's Kyle Edmund and Canada's Denis Shapovalov, the Canadian hit the match umpire, Arnaud Gabas, in the eye after launching a ball aimlessly towards the crowd in anger after dropping serve in the opening stages of the third set, defaulting the match and tie as a consequence. Canada then won in September a playoff tie over India by the score of 3–2 and stayed in the World Group for a seventh straight year. In 2018, the first season with new captain Frank Dancevic, Canada lost once again in the first round of the World Group by the score of 1–3 to Croatia. Canada then played a playoff tie in September against the Netherlands to secure its place in the Qualifier Round for next year, which was the first year with the new Davis Cup format, and won it 3–1. Nestor also played the last match of his career during the tie and was inducted into the Canadian Tennis Hall of Fame on the last day of the competition. In 2019, Canada defeated Slovakia 3–2 to earn its spot in the Davis Cup Finals in Madrid in November. At the Davis Cup finals, Canada finished first in its round robin group, defeating respectively Italy 2–1 and the United States 2–1. In the quarterfinals, Canada defeated Australia by the score of 2–1 and went on to reach its first Davis Cup final ever by defeating Russia 2–1. In the final, Spain won the two singles rubbers and claimed the Davis Cup title with a 2–0 victory. In the finals in 2021, Canada lost its two Round robin ties respectively to Sweden and Kazakhstan, eliminating them from the competiton. Canada next played in the Qualifying round in 2022, but lost 0–4 to the Netherlands. Despite losing their last tie, Canada was awarded a wildcard in the 2022 Davis Cup Finals following Russia's suspension and qualified for the quarterfinals after finishing in the top two teams of its Round robin group. They went on to win the first Davis Cup of its history, defeating Germany 2–1 in the quarterfinals, Italy 2–1 in the semifinals and Australia 2–0 in the final. In 2023, Canada qualified for the quarterfinals after finishing first in its round robin group with wins over Italy, Sweden and Chile, but lost 1–2 to Finland. Canada next played in the Qualifying round in 2024, and won 3–1 over South Korea to earn its spot in the Davis Cup Finals in September.
