Madrid – Canadian Vasek Pospisil claimed a surprise victory over Italy’s Fabio Fognini to put his side in control of their Davis Cup Finals tie on Monday, while Andrey Rublev got Russia off to a winning start on the opening day.

World No 12 Fognini slumped to a 7-6 (7/5), 7-5 defeat by the 150th-ranked Pospisil at the Caja Magica.

Rising star Denis Shapovalov could send Canada to the top of the early Group F table with victory in their second singles rubber against world No 8 Matteo Berrettini.

In-form youngster Rublev eased to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Borna Gojo, who is playing for reigning champions Croatia in the absence of the injured Marin Cilic.

Russia are without US Open runner-up Daniil Medvedev after he pulled out due to exhaustion following a gruelling end to the season.

Rafael Nadal’s Spain are the other team in what promises to be a closely-contested Group B.

Belgium also took an early advantage as Steve Darcis saw off Colombian Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 6-2.
