Canada beats Russia in the semi-finals and advances to the Davis Cup final for the first time. Only problem is, the opponents will be Rafael Nadal's Spain, vanquishers of Britain in their semi-finals, and Spain will be playing at home.
Nadal has a 28-1 record in Davis Cup singles matches, and playing at home presumably on clay he is probably not TOO worried about Raonic, Shapovalov and company...

*** EDIT ***
I didn't realise that the format of the Davis Cup had changed. From Wikipedia:
For this edition, the format of the cup was changed.[2] The main modification is the World Group taking place at one location and in one week, with eighteen teams divided in six round-robin groups of three teams each, with the winners of the groups and the two best second places advancing to quarterfinals. The series between the teams in this stage features two singles matches and one doubles match, instead of the best-of-5 series, with the matches changing from best of 5 sets to best of 3. As the World Group is now taking place as one single tournament, this event has been named the 2019 Davis Cup Finals. The lower zone groups I and II are composed of single ties deciding promotion or relegation.
