GB's Davis Cup Finals hopes over as Evans & Draper lose

Great Britain's Davis Cup Finals hopes are over after Dan Evans and Jack Draper were both defeated against a strong Canadian team.

Leon Smith's Great Britain needed to beat Canada 3-0 in Manchester to progress to November's knockout stages in Malaga.

But their fate was sealed early on Sunday, with Evans' 6-0 7-5 loss to Denis Shapovalov, meaning GB will finish outside the top two in Group D.

That was followed by British number one Jack Draper losing 7-6 (10-8) 7-5 to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Evans said afterwards he was thinking "long and hard" about ending his Davis Cup career.
