Ranked 143rd in the world, Shapovalov has been having a dream of a tournament as he beat two Grand Slam champions in Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin Del Potro to reach the quarter-finals where he would face World No. 42 Adria Mannarino.

Mannarino took the first set 6-2 but the 18-year old came back strongly to win the second and third sets, thus reaching his first ATP semi-final. At 18 years and 119 days, Denis Shapovalov is the youngest ATP Masters semi-finalist.

His run to the semi-final will take him to 67th in the ATP rankings and it will also take him to fourth place in the Emirates Race to Milan - which will determine 7 players aged 21 and below who will participate at the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan on November.
