Novak Djokovic And Denis Shapovalov

Novak Djokovic and Denis Shapovalov are going to clash in a tasty quarterfinal in Adelaide on Friday. Even if Novak Djokovic has a glorious 7-0 head-to-head record against the Canadian player, the former world number 1 is very well aware that Denis is extremely dangerous, especially on fast surfaces like the one in Adelaide.

Novak commented: “Denis is one of the most complete players out there. He has a very dynamic style of tennis. He has a big serve, comes to the net, is comfortable playing at the back of a court and he’s a great athlete. I haven’t played him for a while so I’m looking forward to it. Every match from here gets tougher.”
