SYDNEY, Australia — Denis Shapovalov pushed world No. 2 Novak Djokovic to the limit but lost 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 on Friday as Canada was eliminated by Serbia from the ATP Cup’s quarterfinal.Serbia advanced to the semifinal with a 2-0 lead, but the two countries still played a doubles match on Friday.
After Djokovic took a 4-1 lead in the second set, Bernardes warned Canadian captain Peter Polansky that Shapovalov was not to directly address rowdy fans after the 20-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont., took issue with how some spectators had spoken to him."The most important thing between all of us is respect," he said over the public address system. "If you don’t want to watch tennis just go home. Don’t disturb the people who are here to watch tennis.
A video review found that Djokovic’s return on game point was slightly wide, tying the third set 5-5. Shapovalov jumped on the opportunity, winning the next point.
