Determining the challenge was the first Super Tide set in which all the qualities of the Canadian were revealed. Felix excelled at recovering an early break and saving 5 break points, which would have sent Batista Aquitas 5-3. But the Canadian player was a role model in the tie-break. Felix flew 6-2 with forehand brushes and 6-3 on the first chance at his own serve, after 85 minutes he closed the set with a paradoxical forehand attack along the line. Even in the second set Shapovalov extended the series of break points to save a tough game of 15-40. Then in the eighth game he made a decisive break by stopping his opponent with a straight win. Agar-Aliasim made a double mistake at the triple match point, but the Canadian ended the match with a last-minute serve on the second chance.

Saving 8 of 8 points, Shabowalov canceled 5 break points in a game that gave him confidence and courage, and at the end of the second set another subtle moment came when Kareno Busta made up for the 3-4 deficit, but Shabowalov immediately activated the counter brake. He regained his focus by finishing 6-3. Canada started the match with a 3-0 defeat to the United States.
