He's finally hitting his peak right now and has hired a new Coach, Tipseravic to help him find his way back to the top.
Not just a contender, he will be a serious contender. Much like Audley Harrison, it will all come together for Shapovalov next year.![]()
I hope so! But this is only a 250, and he hasn't faced any top guys en route. That being said, he has kept up a very high level the whole tourney, not just in one match. Vamos Denis!
Yes, he's a threat in whichever 250 he's in!
Contender for what?
Biggest rapper cringelord on the ATP tour?
As my colleague Hyman Roth said, we now live in a world where The Penguin has surpassed The Joker. Shapovalov turning the page is small potatoes compared to this. Slams are coming.

So does Tim Walz.He's in a final tomorrow, his first in a while. Go dance on someone else's grave. I hear Kamala's got a lot of spare time these days

Well, back to NEAR the top; never ranked higher than 10th.help him find his way back to the top.
What's a 250 final gonna tell me about how far he gets at the AO or RG?
Even if he sweeps the final 0 and 0 tomorrow, I don't see it as a reliable enough indicator that he's going to have a career resurgence for next season.
Also, not sure what your politics have to do with a journeyman making a 250 final.

@The Blond Blur please do your job, sir.
For 2025 I could very well see a final between him and Kyrgios, the final that establishes who is the clown of clowns.
He did something this week which very, very few players ever do, i.e., a 1.5+ dominance ratio in 4 straight matches, which is basically something only the GOATs do. He also played three consecutive matches with a 2.3+ dominance ratio, something I’ve rarely seen.
Was Stan ever as hyped as Shapo, though?Watching the highlights all week out of Belgrade are crazy he looks amazing. It wasn't all that long ago that he was considered the golden ticket that was going to save tennis and be the big next star. Compare his results to this age to Stan's and they look pretty similar. I'm hoping he's figured something out.
Definitely not. He really came out of nowhere. When Shapo's in the groove he has that thing where it doesn't even look hard. He's just out there hitting casually. Stan doesn't really have that so he wasn't viewed as that big of a talent as usually that ease translates to greatness or at least very goodness but that unbelievable AO 22 choke really destroyed his career. Hopfully, he can at the very least get back to top 20 because for those 5 matches a year where he's balling he's a fun watch.Was Stan ever as hyped as Shapo, though?
This is why I said in the other thread that blowing out a player like Lehecka is something you would typically see from a Big 4 player. Shapo is producing that level of tennis right now. Thanks for confirming my intuition with hard numbers
It is very difficult and rare to beat a Lehekha level player in a SF/F round because also is playing with winning confidence. 3.40 DR in a SF/F is Big 3 stuff and even they did it rarely.
“Different rules for different players. I can't imagine what all the other players who have been disqualified for contaminated substances are feeling right now."Just for you I'm gonna cross my fingers for Shapo to crush Clostebinner at Wimbledon this year.
Not sure why so many of you hate the guy. He's hardly done anything and obviously has never beaten any of your favorites
“Different rules for different players. I can't imagine what all the other players who have been disqualified for contaminated substances are feeling right now."
Because he is a clown who should inform himself about protocol procedures before alluding to favoritism.
And in any case, don't worry, hoping that Shapovalov beats Sinner on any type of surface (including Wimbledon grass) is equivalent to hoping to put out a fire by throwing petrol.
They are part of different light year categories.
Slams? No, not even with the best tennis he’s ever played and the best draw he could get.
The tennis he is playing right now could win a Slam. That's what @ghostofMecir is trying to tell us
The tennis he played at this tournament is top, top shelf, but I still don’t think that his backhand defense and backhand return could hold up over seven matches, but I will say that if he plays this, Nobody would want to play him because he was taking the initiative early and every point and even with his weaknesses, he is playing the matches on his terms and winning or losing them on his terms.

Nothing, really.What do Rafa fans have against Shapo now? That fact that he dared to win sets off the Great Man in 2022 AO?
He just won a trophy 4/4 over Medjedovic, a player who TTW is much more excited about. Not really in the mood to hear ppl gloating about how bad he is.

Isn't tipsarevic a member of the city assembly of Belgrade?He's finally hitting his peak right now and has hired a new Coach, Tipseravic to help him find his way back to the top.
Except for the initial buzz after the Kiddie Finals last year, I don't see a lot of excitement for Medjedovic. But overall I think a lot of TTW (aside from the gloryhounds), are waiting to see if Shapo can capitalize on this run. He's had a few false starts before.
