Shapovalov
Ranked no.25, the young Canadian is aiming at breaking in the top 20 as soon as he can. Denis is not having a “smashing” 2019 with a 6-5 win-loss record. However, the 19-year-old is expected to improve that in the weeks to come. Shapovalov got to the 3rd round in Indian Wells after defeating Steve Johnson 6-3 6-4 with a very convincing performance.
