Felix Auger-Aliassime
Ranked no.30, Felix is having a fantastic season especially after he reached the final in Rio de Janeiro and the semifinal in Miami. Felix is also 13th in the year to date rankings, and he has an 8-5 win-loss record this year on clay.
Head to head Denis Shapovalov vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime

However, the official head to head is 1-0 for Shapovalov since they faced each other only once at a pro level and that was the 1st round of the US Open when Felix had to withdraw when he was 7-5 5-7 4-1 down for a heart-related problem.
