Canada beat Australia in the final of the Davis Cup in Malaga to win the event for the first time in their history. They got off to a strong start as Denis Shapovalov beat Thanasi Kokkinakis in straight sets 6-2 6-4.

US Open champion Dominic Thiem came back from a set down to beat Nick Kyrgios in a five set classic to advance into the fourth round of the Australian Open. Meanwhile British number 3 Cameron Norrie will face Spanish great Rafa Nadal tomorrow to see if he can pull off a huge shock and advance into the second week of the Grand Slam.

In the women’s draw, veteran Serena Williams came through a slow start to beat Anastasia Potapova. Unfortunately Britain’s Heather Watson was beaten in a three set battle by Anett Kontaveit which ended British interest in the women’s singles tournament.
