Billy Jean King Cup: Spain are in serious danger of exiting the group stage of the finals of the Billie Jean King Cup after losing their opening match 3-0 against Canada.

Canada got off to a winning start with Marina Stakusic defying the ranking disparity with Spain's Rebeka Masarova to win 6-3, 6-1 in an hour and nine minutes in their Group C match, Xinhua reports.

Masarova was the favorite to win, given her ranking of 65 in the world compared to 319 for Stakusic, but the hard-court specialist struggled to find her form on the clay surface in Sevilla and was decisively defeated.
