Canada’s Raonic and Diallo get singles nods for Davis Cup Final 8 tie against Finland

Nov 21, 2023 | 7:48 AM

MÁLAGA, Spain — Milos Raonic and Gabriel Diallo will get the singles match assignments for Canada’s quarterfinal tie against Finland today at the Davis Cup.

A Tennis Canada spokesman says Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, who clinched the victory for Canada in last year’s final against Australia, is not available due to a lower-body issue.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., will open against Patrick Kaukovalta at the Martin Carpena Arena, while Diallo, from Montreal, will play Otto Virtanen.

Vasek Pospisil of Vernon, B.C., and Alexis Galarneau of Laval, Que., are tabbed to play doubles against Harri Heliovaara and Patrik Niklas-Salminen.

Auger-Aliassime is the lone Canadian singles player in the top-100 of the world rankings at No. 29.
