Vit Kopriva has produced a stunning performance on his ATP Tour debut with the World No.249 dumping out recent top 10 debutant Denis Shapovalov at Swiss Open Gstaad.
Also the top seed at the clay court tournament, the Canadian has headed out 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in his first match since his run to the latter stages at Wimbledon.
He hit 11 aces in the tie but also 10 double faults with only 3/6 break points claimed.
While for his opponents, only four of the latter were hit all match and he hit 82% winning percentage on his first serve and 56% on his second to move through.
The decision from Shapovalov to play in the ATP 250 has not been vinidcated it seems with the in-form star deciding against playing at the Tokyo Olympics as a result.
