Canadian tennis star Denis Shapovalov has bounced back from a stunning loss last week in Germany with a impressive win over Japan’s Kei Nishikori in the second round of the Madrid Open, according to a report from BVMSports.com. The 29th-seeded Shapovalov secured a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Nishikori, setting up a clash with No. 10 seed Alex de Minaur of Australia.
Shapovalov, who received a bye in the first round, will face a tougher test against de Minaur, who boasts a 4-0 lifetime record against the Canadian. The Australian has proven to be a formidable opponent for Shapovalov in the past, and it will be interesting to see how the Canadian fares against him on the clay courts of Madrid.
