Montreal’s Auger-Aliassime and Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont won a deciding doubles against Russia on Saturday in the semifinals to knock out the defending champions. And with the title on the line, they played their best tennis to defeat two-time finalists Spain.
“The emotions are unbelievable,” Auger-Aliassime said on the ATP website. “There’s no better feeling than winning. We left everything out there. We came back from far in this competition, losing our first four matches. But we never stopped believing.”
“The way we pulled each other until the end was a great effort.”

Shapovalov had lost four of five previous matches against Carreno Busta.
“Couldn’t have wished for a better start. If it wasn’t for Denis the past two days, we wouldn’t be here right now,” Auger-Aliassime said.
