Denis Shapovalov, a 25-year-old Canadian player, broke into the Top 10 of the ATP rankings after becoming the first Canadian US Open men’s singles quarterfinalist in 2020. He achieved notable success at the 2021 Wimbledon tournament, reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal after defeating two-time champion Andy Murray and earning 5-set wins over Philipp Kohlschreiber and Karen Khachanov. Shapovalov has also reached the final of the 2019 Paris tournament and four other ATP Masters 1000 semifinals, including the 2017 Montreal tournament where he upset No. 2 Rafael Nadal and became the youngest semifinalist in the series history at the age of 18. He has contributed to Canada’s success in team events, beating Pablo Carreno Busta in the 2022 ATP Cup final and Thanasi Kokkinakis in the 2022 Davis Cup final, helping Canada secure both team titles. Shapovalov ended his junior career by winning the 2016 Wimbledon boys’ singles title and quickly broke into the Top 50 of the ATP Rankings less than 15 months later.
In their upcoming match at the Grandstand, Taylor Fritz aims to reach his 56th tour-level quarterfinal and his fourth in five appearances at this tournament. He currently holds a 19-match winning streak against opponents ranked outside the Top 50. Denis Shapovalov, on the other hand, hopes to end his 8-match losing streak against Top 10 players since defeating Fritz in the 2022 Vienna final. He also aims to reach his third consecutive indoor quarterfinal, following his quarterfinal run in Basel and title victory in Belgrade at the end of last season.
