Neither of these are very good though. The best one being Djoko of course. But he peaked 7 years ago and is way past prime.

The Greek made history by becoming the youngest player to beat four top-10 players in an event since the ATP World Tour was established in 1990. He beat World No. 6 Anderson after topping eighth-ranked Dominic Thiem in the second round, World No. 10 Novak Djokovic in the round of 16 and German No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals.

If he can get past Nadal tonight he will have beaten all 4 of the finalists at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Now that WOULD be a record, surely!

This thread reminds me a bit of the discussions we had when Shapovalov first burst onto the scene. I've been thinking about this since I'm reflecting on the way I post here. I've been very forceful (often too much so) in my defense of Denis. But, with Stefanos, I'll say the same thing. He's a highly talented youngster. Right now, he's just 20, and yes, many players have achieved something by that age, but most didn't. Whatever happens today, this was a wonderful week for him.
