Canadian tennis star Denis Shapovalov may have his hands full in preparation for the 2023 Miami Open, but he had enough time to witness his girlfriend Mirjam Bjorklund win her maiden WTA 1000 match at the women's event.
World No. 149 Bjorklund entered the ongoing event as a qualifier and beat Ysaline Bonaventure and Tamara Zidansek to enter the main draw. This was also Bjorklund's debut in the maindraw of a WTA 1000 tournament, and Shapovalov celebrated the occasion by engulfing his girlfriend in a big hug.
Bjorklund defeated World No.71 Jasmine Paolini 4-6 6-4 6-4 in two hours and 22 minutes, and will face 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in the second round.
"Let's go," Shapovalov tweeted.

- Condescending Collins also tried to justify her personal problems and iiotic personal attacks by claiming some mythical "locker room" situation(s). FYI: Most (all?) pro venues do not have open space 'locker rooms'. It ain't high school gyms where these women are in close personal contact.

- Too close to bigotry for you to call her snotty remarks (in public) "her perspective". It's one thing to not like one another, but there is no basis for what Navarro claimed about "the locker room" and "other players".mandoist05-09-2024
