Denis Shapovalov was very emotional during the ATP Cup trophy ceremony admitting that winning the event meant a lot to him.
Both him and Auger-Aliassime skipped over the Davis Cup Finals in December citing fatigue but they repaid their loyalty to Canada with a brilliant run here. Shapovalov himself admitted that he felt quite nervous before the final as he was set to play against Carreno Busta, a man against whom he has struggled considerably in the past.
He said:
“(I had) a few nerves going out. Obviously, I’ve got a tough record against Carreno Busta, so I knew it was going to be a tough match,” Shapovalov said.
Despite that, he was able to produce a spectacular effort to take down the Spaniard in two sets giving his nation the 1-0 lead. When Auger-Aliassime won the 2nd match Canada was declared the winner and Shapovalov was extremely happy lifting the trophy.

- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.mandoist15-04-2024
