Shapovalov joins Auger-Aliassime in Miami Open semis:
Denis Shapovalov , The Canadian PressThe 19-year-old native of Richmond Hill, Ont., joined fellow Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, 18, in the semifinals of the Miami Open with a 6-7 , 6-4, 6-2 win over American Frances Tiafoe on Thursday night.
The Tiafoe-Shapovalov match started more than three hours late because of rain. When it finally did get going, fans weren't disappointed as the hard-hitting players produced regular winners. Shapovalov was better on first serve, winning 76 per cent of his points, as compared to 63 per cent for the 21-year-old Tiafoe. Shapovalov also had a 36-18 edge in winners.
Shapovalov bounced back in the second set, going up 5-1 before Tiafoe saved four set points on serve and then broke the Canadian to cut the deficit to 5-4. "A lot of things are working, obviously," Auger-Aliassime said."I think I have been just improving in the last couple of weeks. But I don't want to look back right now. I think I will do at the end of the tournament. Right now I'm looking forward to the next match and how far I can go in this tournament. Definitely I will take some time back home to reset and think about what happened.
