🇨🇦 vs. 🇨🇦
The longtime friends ended up in the same bracket in Saturday’s draw for the ATP Masters 1000 clay-court event.
The main draw starts Sunday. The Auger-Aliassime-Shapovalov meeting in Madrid comes four years after they led Canada to the Junior Davis Cup title in the same city. The first tour-level meeting between the two was a memorable first-round match at last year’s U.S. Open, with Auger-Aliassime retiring after falling behind 7-5, 5-7, 4-1 on a muggy day in New York.
Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime are off to slow starts in the European clay-court season after both reached the semifinals in March at the Miami Open, a Masters 1000 hard-court event. Shapovalov has lost his past two matches, while Auger-Aliassime has dropped two of three.
