I watched this rubber doubles match US vs Italy. Fognini played great and Bolelli played even better. I certainly don't know if US would have beat them with Ram. Ram is no doubt a great doubles player.

From DC site;

"Auger-Aliassime won his seventh and eighth sets of the Davis Cup by Rakuten Final 8 2022 to add to those won by Denis Shapovalov earlier on Sunday, giving Canada an unassailable 2-0 lead against Australia.

It was more testing than the 6-3, 6-4 scoreline against Alex de Minaur suggests, and Auger-Aliassime had to fight off eight break points to get over the line.

But his serve was reliable when he needed it most, and his baseline game was rock-solid.

“The emotions are tough to describe,” said Auger-Aliassime.

“Denis and I grew up together, dreaming of these types of stage, dreaming of winning the Davis Cup. It’s a great moment for myself and for the country.”
