Canadian Denis Shapovalov confident heading into 2023 after strong finish to 2022 season
Ending last season on a high has given Canada’s Denis Shapovalov a little extra motivation as he looks ahead to the 2023 campaign.
Shapovalov, at No. 20, and Félix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal, at No. 6, are the only seeded Canadian singles players at the first Grand Slam of the year. Main draw play begins Monday . Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski, the world No. 7 in women’s doubles, is the Canadian headliner in the four-player game. Doubles draws have yet to be released.
Shapovalov’s aggressive groundstroke game can force opponents to play a more defensive style. The challenge for the left-hander can be finding a balance between going for higher-risk shots and playing with consistency. Shapovalov reached the quarter-finals Down Under last season, his best showing at a Grand Slam since a semi-final appearance at Wimbledon in 2021.“It definitely does suit my game,” he said. “I’ve always felt like I’ve played well in Australia, whether it was leading up to the Slam or in the Slam. So I definitely feel like my chances are good here.”
