Australia overcame Nick Kyrgios's absence and still beat Canada 3-0 for their second straight win in the ATP Cup in Brisbane, Australia on Sunday.

Veteran John Millman filled in for Nick Kyrgios, who was sidelined by a back injury, and swept aside Felix Auger-Alissame in the opening singles match. Millman won in straight sets 6-4, 6-2.

Alex de Minaur secured the tie for the hosts when he rallied from a set and a break down to beat Denis Shapovalov 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-2 at Pat Rafter Arena.

Australia's Chris Guccione and John Peers won the doubles in a super-tie breaker 3-6, 7-6, 10-8 against Auger-Alissame and Adil Shamasdin to complete the rout.

With their second consecutive clean sweep (3-0) win, Australia are on top of Group F followed by Canada, Greece and Germany.
