"Coach Yatzy working hard regripping my @yonex_tennis for practice😁"

"Let's go to practice."

Ahead of the final of the 2025 Dallas Open, Shapovalov talked about his pet, Yatzy. He said:

"We just got a puppy. I have Mirjam here with the dog and with the hotel being so close, I'm really just able to disconnecct and enjoy the area here."

Denis Shapovalov went on to win the 2025 Dallas Open by defeating Casper Ruud 7–6(7–5), 6–3 in the final. In the process, Shapovalov became the first player since Nick Kyrgios at the 2019 Mexican Open to defeat the top three seeds and three top 10-ranked opponents en route to an ATP 500 title.
