Denis Shapovalov headlined Canada’s five-man roster for its first-round Davis Cup qualifier against Hungary, a lineup that did not include singles star Felix Auger-Aliassime. 

Shapovalov, the world No. 58 from Richmond Hill, Ont., was joined on the squad by Montreal’s Gabriel Diallo, Alexis Galarneau of Laval, Que., Liam Draxl of Newmarket, Ont., and Vasek Pospisil of Vernon, B.C. 

The winner of the Feb. 1-2 tie at IGA Stadium will advance to the second round of qualifiers in September.
