Britain’s Davis Cup quarter-final hopes dashed after Evans' defeat

GREAT BRITAIN’S hopes of reaching the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup were ended by defeat for Dan Evans against Canada’s Denis Shapovalov.

Britain’s loss to Argentina on Friday coupled with other results in the group meant Leon Smith’s side went into the final tie at a sold-out AO Arena in Manchester knowing that only a 3-0 victory would send them through.
