Denis Shapovalov joins fellow Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in Miami semis
MIAMI — Denis Shapovalov has continued a marvellous March for Canadian teen tennis players.
The 19-year-old native of Richmond Hill, Ont., joined fellow Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, 18, in the men’s semifinals of the Miami Open with a 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-2 win over American Frances Tiafoe on Thursday night.
“It’s kind of crazy to share this with Felix,” Shapovalov said. “I was just thinking in the locker room how far back we go, and from the national groupings when we were eight and nine years old, so it’s so crazy to see how far we have come.
