Denis Shapovalov did not play his best tennis at the Laver Cup and that continued today as Cameron Norrie completely smashed him 6-3 6-1.
Denis Shapovalov is in a fierce battle with several other tennis players for a spot at the ATP Finals in Turin hence why today's performance against Cam Norrie was a shocking one. The Canadian scored a very good win over Taylor Fritz in the previous round but today faced an opponent that defeat him once this season already.
And it happened again, this time even easier for Norrie. The start of the match was great for Shapovalov as he served rather well winning his service games with ease. Norrie was the one who had to work harder to get himself over the line but that suddenly changed. Towards the end of the set, Shapovalov started missing his serve.
That opened him up to Norrie on his 2nd serve and the Brit was clinical. He won 8 of 12 of those points to score two quick breaks and clinch the first set with 6-3. The 2nd set was even quicker for Norrie who once again attacked Shapovalov on his 2nd serve. The Canadian won only 3 of 8 of those rallies and doomed him.
Norrie was spectacular on his own serve hitting it 88 % of the time dropping only 4 of those points in the whole 2nd set. He only faced one break point in the whole match closing it out with 6-3 to move on at the San Diego Open.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
