He really has all the tools to be a big star, I hope he avoids the Genie path and doesn't get too invested in all the off court stuff - imagine he's at a stage where lots of sponsors and event organizers are coming at him non stop.

It's a bit unfair of me to say this regarding Genie, since I don't think she's unusual for young, pretty women, but Shapovalov seems (from a distance) to be a lot less inward focused. Especially after that incident at the Davis Cup. Seems to have an easier time seeing beyond the end of his nose.
That said, and somewhat interestingly, he's already supplanted Raonic as the coverboy for the Rogers Cup.
