Denis Shapovalov’s impressive run at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships sees him reach the quarter-finals after he dismissed Spain’s 2019 semi-finalist and eighth seed Roberto Bautista Agut 6-1, 6-3, 7-5 today.
The 22-year-old was born in Israel and spent the first years of his life here, but the family moved to Canada when he was young.
Shapovalov — who beat Britain’s two-time champion Andy Murray in the previous round — will next face 25th seeded Karen Khachanov of Russia for a place in the last four.
A US Open quarter-finalist in 2020, Shapovalov’s best showing at Wimbledon in three previous visits was reaching the second round in 2018.
