2025 Davis Cup in Montreal: Hungary Denies Canada’s Comeback Bid to Claim Davis Cup Qualifier

Team Canada presented by IGA’s bid for a day two comeback in the Davis Cup Qualifiers 1^st Round came up just short on Sunday in Montreal as Hungary held off the Canadians for a 3-2 win. 

A doubles victory by Liam Draxl and Vasek Pospisil in the opening match followed by a singles upset for Gabriel Diallo in the No. 1 singles match levelled the tie for Canada after they lost both matches on Saturday. But Marton Fucsovics proved too strong for Alexis Galarneau in the fifth and deciding match, winning in two sets to clinch the tie for Hungary. 

It is Canada’s first Davis Cup defeat on home soil since 2017. They now await the draw for the World Group I ties in September. Canada will have to win that home-and-away tie in order to get back to the qualifiers for 2026.
