Djoker vs. expired yogurt.
Shapovalov looking good early. Made Monfils work hard in his opening service game, then broke him on the second. Serving up 2-1.
Edit: and a double break!. Shapo up 4-1, on serve.

It's early, but he's again sporting an unreal 83% win percentage on his first serve points. I want some of whatever his team is cooking up for him this last few months. What a turn around.

Schnur is currently up a set in the QFs of the Charlottesville Challenger. Pospisil on court once it concludes.

Well, that was easy. Shapovalov wins the first set 6-2, in 28 minutes.
Monfils struggled on serve the entire set. I think Shapovalov beat him to 30 all four times.

The first few games of set #2 will be critical for Denis. A strong initial return game and hold should show Monfils he isn't going to allow his level to drop and hopefully make this a quick match.

Just amazing shot selection from Shapo again today. No more silly errors chasing huge winners. Youhzny has him locked in. It's not a break until you hold so here goes the all important consolidation game.

Looking forward to seeing them in Calgary in February. Though, It'd be nice if at least one of those two was playing in main tour events as well.

Not sure who is more stunned: Monfils or the crowd.

Yeah hard to say. Pospisil will be in tough to be making main draws in February without going through quallies unless he goes on a big run at the Aussie Open. If it was me, I wouldn't head over to Europe again until I have my ranking back into the top 75 and know I can get into just about any event. Schnur could be in the same boat.

This match is over if Monfils drops another service game. Denis is just in the zone.

Just no quit in Shapovalov. Comes back from 15-40 to go up a double break. 3-0 and Monfils just has no idea what to do anymore.

Some of his gets are Nadal esq today. Really great to see.
[Edit]
Shapo serving 0-30 at 3-0 in the second set and coming through to hold is such a defining moment. A few months ago he would have crumbled and now you never thought he'd lose the game.

Shapovalov at 18 winners to Monfils' 6 is just insane. 5-1

6-2, 6-2 in less than an hour. Shapovalov out there using cheat codes.
Also costs Monfils his shot at the ATP final, which is kind of a shame.

And Denis closes it out 6-2, 6-2 in exactly an hour! Is this guy rolling or what.

New career high in rankings for Denis as he moves - at least temporarily - into the 17 spot.

Not sure how they will schedule it, but Denis is supposed to be right back out there for his doubles quarterfinal next.

With this victory, it looks like Denis will now also have the top seed in Milan for the nextgen finals, overtaking DeMinaur.
