History of Team Canada in Davis Cup

Canada competed in its first Davis Cup in 1913. They won their first tie played in June at the Queen's Club, London over South Africa by a score of 4-1. The team consisted of just two players, Robert Powell and Bernard Schwengers. They then in July easily defeated Belgium in the semi-finals 4-0. In the final however, played a week later, they lost all three matches to the Americans in straight sets.

Canada did not play a World Group tie between 1921 and 1991, when the team of Grant Connell, Glenn Michibata, Andrew Sznajder, and Martin Wostenholme, with team captain Pierre Lamarche, lost 1-4 away to Spain. The following year, again in the World Group first round, Canada came closer to advancing, going down 2-3 at home to Sweden despite taking a first-day 2-0 lead. The tie was highlighted by a surprise singles win of rookie Daniel Nestor over superstar player Stefan Edberg. Nestor could not repeat the magic losing in the deciding rubber in 5 sets to Magnus Gustafsson.

2004 saw Canada in their final World Group appearance to date fall away to the Netherlands 1-4. Team members then were Simon Larose, Frank Dancevic, Frederic Niemeyer, and Daniel Nestor as a star doubles specialist.
