For the second time in as many years, the Canadian Fed Cup team returned to Montréal to battle for a place in next year’s World Group II. In one of the most bizarre ties in recent memory, Canada edged Ukraine in a dramatic 3-2 victory, which was largely aided by Quebec’s Eugenie Bouchard, who clinched two huge singles victories in her first Fed Cup tie since 2015. After Ukraine evened things up with victories from Lesia Tsurenko and Kateryna Bondarenko, respectively, it was the all-Ontarian team of Bianca Andreescu and Gabriela Dabrowski who clinched the win for the Canadians in a dramatic three-set battle, sending the host nation back into World Group II for another year.
