Great Britain's Davis Cup Finals hopes are over after Dan Evans fell to a heavy defeat by Denis Shapovalov in their first match against Canada.
Leon Smith's team needed to beat Canada 3-0 in Manchester to progress to November's knockout stages in Malaga.
But their fate was sealed early on Sunday, with Evans' 6-0 7-5 loss meaning Britain will finish outside of the top two in Group D.
Evans said afterwards he was thinking "long and hard" about ending his Davis Cup career.
British number one Jack Draper will face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second singles match, while Evans is expected to return alongside Neal Skupski in the doubles to complete the tie.
Canada, the 2022 champions, advance along with Argentina, who booked their place in the 'Final Eight' with a 3-0 win over Finland on Saturday.
