Feliciano Lopez praised an "amazing" Rafael Nadal after the world number one sealed Spain's sixth Davis Cup title on Sunday with another superhuman display at La Caja Magica.

Denis Shapovalov said he was proud to have played in Canada's first Davis Cup final although it "sucked" to lose after he succumbed to Rafael Nadal in Madrid's Magic Box on Sunday.

Kim Sei-young sank a 25-foot birdie putt at the final hole to win the CME Group Tour Championship and the biggest prize in women's golf, $1.5 million, in Florida on Sunday.
