    Big and bold from Felix Auger-Aliassime as he shoots his way to 40-0 only to miscue a backhand into the lively Madrid crowd. It's boisterous...

    Top, top level hitting from both men. Bautista Agut is giving very little away, it takes number of big blows to get through him, if at all.

    Spain 4-4 Canada*

    The Spaniard, having not conceded a point on serve before this game, struggles to close out as he's taken to deuce again.

    Great depth with a pick-up top spin forehand though from Roberto Bautista Agut to unsettle his opponent, and then Auger-Aliassime sticks a backhand into the net.

    Big, big hold.

    Cute as you like from Felix Auger-Aliassime, suddenly taking the heat out of a punchy rally with the deftest of drop shots. Deuce.

    "Come on!" shouts Roberto Bautista Agut as he makes a crucial save at break point.

    Auger-Aliassime is playing a real upbeat brand of tennis at the moment.

    Snappy from the teenager. Auger-Aliassime engineers a mini-break with some fiery net play. 15-30. Bautista Agut cranks his serve up a notch to hit back, but then the Canadian whips a forehand winner down the line beyond the stranded Spaniard.

    Break point Canada.

    Smart from Felix Auger-Aliassime, working Roberto Bautista Agut around the court before sauntering into the net and smashing the fluff up and over his opponent's head.

    Quick-fire holds at the minute. It remains on serve.

    A love hold for the Spaniard. As Russell just suggested... clinical on serve at the minute.

    Bautista Agut has yet to drop a point on serve. He has settled in and is showing no sign of the traumatic experience of the passing of his father.

    Gerard Pique's on the phone. Checking in with the wife after Shakira's closing ceremony performance earlier? Ordering takeaway for the end of the first set? Chatting to Lionel Messi about yesterday's narrow win for Barcelona?

    Back on court, Roberto Bautista Agut is dialed in as he screams to 40-0.

    And an ace to finish. Roberto Bautista Agut dives to his right but can't stick a string on it.

    Spain 2-2 Canada*

    FAA's turn to dish up some meaty serves, sprinkled with a touch of top spin and complemented by a smorgasbord of fine winners. 40-0.

    Spain 2-2 Canada*

    A little wild from Auger-Aliassime, unable to deal with the galloping serve of Bautista Agut. It's kicking like a horse.

    The Canadian gets to grips with a slower second serve and then leaps into a backhand, only to crack the tape. Spain hold to love.

    That was an extraordinary rally. Absolutely no sign of the ankle injury that has kept Auger-Aliassime out of the finals until this point.

    Mammoth exchange, probably the longest rally so far, before Felix Auger-Aliassime clips the tape and Roberto Bautista Agut hammers into the gauze. The Spaniard finds the same spot moments later and Canada take an important hold.

    Spain 1-1 Canada*

    Good hustle from Felix Auger-Aliassime, scrambling back to 30-30 with a fine forehand winner that wrong-foots his opponent. It's worth a fist pump from the teen.

    Spain 1-1 Canada*

    What a return. Bautista Agut just threw a paddle at that wide serve from Auger-Aliassime and managed to generate enough power to beat the Canadian he fizzed it back across court.

    The teenager coaxes a backhand into the tape, and now Spain sense an opportunity. 0-30.

    Punchy from Roberto Bautista Agut, edging to 40-0 and then slinging down an ace to hold to love.

    A thundering ace from FAA that nips at the T and kicks on beyond Roberto Bautista Agut to hold.
