Pospisil, Auger-Aliassime lift Canada past Korea in Davis Cup ... (tenniscanada.com)

Canada defeated Korea 2-1 in their group stage match at the 2022 Davis Cup Finals following a doubles win by Pospisil and Auger-Aliassime.

Pospisil had a chance to take control of the match in the opening game of the decider when he held two break points. He nearly made it a double break in the fourth game but was unable to convert three break points. The Korean added a second break, but Auger-Aliassime was able to claw that one back right away. A sluggish start from Pospisil cost him in the opening set as an error-filled opening game was capped off by back-to-back backhands into the net to surrender the break. Both times, Hong dug deep to stay alive and was two points from victory at 5-4 in the tiebreak. Pospisil and Auger-Aliassime won the last four games of the first set in a row. To start the second, Pospisil upped the aggression and started forcing errors off of Hong’s racket. There, they went down love-40 on Auger-Aliassime’s serve and it proved too big a hole to dig out of as the Montrealer double-faulted to surrender the break. Most of the match was decided on Pospisil’s racket as he struck 29 winners to Hong’s 11, but also committed almost five times as many unforced errors 39 to 8. Each of the first six sets played on Tuesday saw a break in the first two games. The Canadians appeared to be in trouble as the Koreans were cruising through their service games early on, but the door opened at the last minute when Team Korea served for the set. Canada needs to finish in the top two in Group B to advance to November’s knockout stage.
