Shapovalov, Auger- Aliassime get put to the test

Published Feb 01, 2019

The new Davis Cup kicked off Friday with 12 ties being played around the world. A young Canadian team is currently in Bratislava taking on Slovakia.

Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime showed off how much they know about each other in a fun feature video for Davis Cup ahead of all the on-court action. Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime are friends and just one year apart at 19 and 18, respectively. The trickiest questions were about the world No. 106-ranked Auger-Aliassime, while Shapovalov was more an open book.
