The Hopman Cup is coming to Canada for the first time.<\/p>\n
Felix Auger-Aliassime and Bianca Andreescu defeated Flavio Cobolli and Lucia Bronzetti to capture the event on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Andreescu defeated Bronzetti (6-2, 6-3) to start things for the Canucks in the final matchup, before Auger-Aliassime lost to Wimbledon quarterfinalist Cobolli in three sets (7-6 (7), 5-7, 8-10).<\/p>\n
The Canadian duo then handled the hometown Italians 6-3, 6-3, in the deciding mixed doubles match.<\/p>\n
Andreescu went a perfect 6-for-6 in her singles and doubles appearances, without dropping a set the entire tournament. It is her first tournament victory since 2019 when she captured three singles titles including the US Open.<\/p>\n
Auger-Aliassime continues his recent success in events featuring mixed doubles, having captured bronze at the 2024 Olympics in Paris with partner Gabriela Dabrowski.<\/p>\n
The Hopman Cup was established in 1988 and hosts six teams representing their home countries, with matches consisting of a men\u2019s and women\u2019s singles and mixed doubles match, awarding one point for each win.<\/p>\n
Group A consisted of Canada, Greece and Spain, while Group B held Italy, France and Croatia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hopman Cup is coming to Canada for the first time.
