Shapovalov welcomes new Davis Cup captain

At 33 years of age, Frank Dancevic has been named as the new captain of the Canadian Davis Cup team. Now world no.365, Frank reached a career-high ranking of No. 65 in 2007; he replaced Martin Laurendeau that has stepped down after 13 years to coach Denis Shapovalov.

Denis is happy for Dancevic’s new role to comment

“I’d like to thank Marty for selecting me to the Davis Cup team when I was 17 years old. His bold decision allowed me to fulfill my dream to represent Canada and his mentorship as the team captain gave me the confidence to compete against the elite players on the ATP Tour. Thank you for your long and distinguished service to our country as the Davis Cup captain.

With his experience, there is no doubt that Frank Dancevic will be a great captain. I know he will embrace the role and continue to show his great passion for the game.”
