Canada's Denis Shapovalov wins late-night thriller to reach Miami Open quarterfinals
The 19-year-old left-hander beat 20-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 in a fourth-round match that started following a two-hour rain delay and ended shortly after 1:30 Wednesday morning.
"I knew Stefanos was going to be a tough match," Shapovalov said. "I was ready for a long battle and, sure enough, it went the distance. I'm just happy with the way I controlled myself." It marks the first time two teens have been in any ATP Tour Masters 1000 event since 2007. It's the first time since 2013 that two Canadians have reached the quarterfinals or better in a Masters 1000 event -- Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil did it at the Rogers Cup that year.
