Denis Shapovalov starts in great fashion his run in Beijing after he defeated the seed no.7 Hyeon Chung 6-3 3-6 6-2.
After exchanging the first 2 sets, the pair had to battle through the decider. The 3rd set was quite even until the 6th game (Denis was leading 3-2). Â From that moment, the Canadian conceded just 3 points to his opponent to win all the following games at 15.
This is a very important result for Denis that went through a couple of tough losses in the previous 2 tournaments in St. Petersburg and Shenzhen where she missed a terrible volley on match point before losing to Nishioka (that was the winner of the tournament).
Denis will face either Wawrinka or Fritz in the second round.
GREAT PERFORMANCE
