Shapovalov is like Federer and Nadal when they were young.

Forget Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal and focus on Denis Shapovalov!

The ASB Classic (Auckland) tournament director Karl Budge can’t hide his happiness for having Denis Shapovalov on board for their event.

Even if Karl is always respectful for what Federer and Nadal have achieved and he can’t deny his delighted for having them in their early days, the tournament director thinks that having the Canadian is as important.

 

 


 

He is the future. BUDGE

Karl commented

“He is the future of men’s tennis. This kid is something very, very special.

Everyone of you will ask me is there any chance of getting a Federer or Nadal here? We had them both; they came early – this is your chance to see the same with Denis Shapovalov.”

The tournament will be played between the 1st and the 13th of January, and the defending champion is Jack Sock.
