Media's fault to do what? If they want to hype a young, talented tennis player what is the harm? They're not hurting anyone. In fact, they're drawing people to the tennis courts. Tennis is going to go through huge changes in the next couple of years. Nadal, Djokovic, Murray and Federer can only last so long. The new generations inevitably takes over. I've seen magazine articles hyping other players too. But, this isn't a negative thing. It's done with a positive spin and meant to encourage young people to come to tennis matches. I've said it so many times. Who cares about this hype? I don't. I see it as just a bunch of fun. I don't take it as seriously as so many people here seem to do. It's almost as if people are angry about it. My goodness! With all that's going on in the world this isn't something to argue about.
Triggered Canadian Alert!

I’m still not sure that he’s going to make it until mom and the nobody coach are gone. Needs to bring in one of the ex-top guys.

They could easily hurt Shapovalov himself by heaping expectation on him as this article is doing. I understand what you're saying. The Big 4 won't be around forever, and the media can hype whatever they want. That means it's going to take a lot of Shapovalov's self control and a lot of good people around him so that he's not reading articles like this. Unfortunately, in the social media age, articles like this are everywhere. Great for the fans perhaps, potentially disastrous for Denis. I hope not, and I'm not predicting doom. Hope the kid does well.
