Germany vs Canada Prediction Davis Cup Finals Tennis Picks 11/20/24

Germany will be without World No. 2 Alexander Zverev at the Davis Cup Finals after his exertions in Turin.

They will be led by World No. 43 Jan-Lennard Struff, who won a maiden ATP title in Munich earlier this season. There is so much experience in their team with Daniel Altmaier, Yannick Hanfmann, and doubles specialists Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz, who won the ATP Finals doubles title in Turin this past weekend.

Germany is aiming to win two team competitions this year after lifting the second edition of the United Cup in Australia in January.

2022 champions Canada will also be without their top-ranked player, Felix Auger-Aliassime.

But they can count on the return to form of Denis Shapovalov, who won an ATP title in Belgrade during the last week of the regular season.

Shapovalov is joined by rising star Gabriel Diallo, ranked 86th in the ATP rankings, and veterans Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil.

World No. 207 Alexis Galarneau has earned a nomination in the team for the third year running.

Germany vs Canada Davis Cup Head-To-Head

• Canada leads Germany 1-0 in their head-to-head, winning 2-1 in the first round of last year’s Finals.

Germany vs Canada Davis Cup Prediction

Canada will be delighted to have Denis Shapovalov fit and firing. He was crucial in their win over Germany 12 months ago, beating Jan-Lennard Struff. We’ll likely see a rematch between them as they lead their respective teams here.

Canada needs to settle this in singles because Germany’s doubles experts, Krawietz and Puetz, have won 13 of 14 matches in this competition together. If it is decided in doubles, the three-time champions will be the favorites. It is a tight call in singles, but should Shapovalov get his country off the mark, one of Diallo or potentially Raonic will be tough to beat on an indoor hard court since Germany’s singles players are accustomed to clay.
