Denis Shapovalov wins another inspiring match.

The second set was decided by 1 break that Seppi clinched in the 4^th game (4-3) before winning 6-4.

The third set was particularly ugly for Denis that couldn’t capitalize on a break in the 6^th game (4-2) to immediately drop his own serve (4-3) before losing 7-5.

In the 5^th set, Shapovalov broke Seppi in the 4^th game, but once again the Italian made it even (3-3). Finally, Denis won the decisive break in the 7^th game before conquering the contest 6-4 4-6 5-7 7-6 (2) 6-4. The match ended after 3 hours and 47 minutes.
