I remember seeing him at my work and buying some shoes while he was in Adelaide and he was such a nice guy once I knew who it was. He even suggested us getting a photo together before I could even say it myself. Was so happy with the experience He is still one of my fav players with his one handed flying backhand! I hope he can bounce back for sure.

Martina Navratilova once said that your level of success is not determined by how good you are at your best, but how good you are at your worst. That sums up Shapovalov's career. When he's good, he's stunning. When he's bad, he's terrible. It's all accentuated by his strokes - there's very little margin for error with them. It's all or nothing, and too often, it's nothing. Like so many other flashy players, Shapo is too reliant on mood and timing. If either of them are off, he really is powerless.

I think it's mostly mental. I actually don't think him wanting to go big is a problem or that he does it too often, it's just that he's rarely played with much confidence & when you're a player whose game is inherently a high risk high reward style then confidence is even more important than for the likes of Khachanov, Krajinovic, Coric kinda players who are more about consistency. I really hope he finds a way to put it together because he might be my favourite player to watch when he's on song.

Denis was one of my favorite next gen. His style is so unique and incredibly entertaining. Personally I do have a preference for aggressive players with fluent swing from both sides, such as Federer, Alcaraz, and Sinner. Unfortunately the inconsistency has prevented Denis from winning any big titles, and the setback he’s had in the last couple of years is very disappointing. I really hope he can get back and becomes a more complete and consistent player.

On his groundstrokes, he takes these enormous swings on both sides, especially on his backhand, which do not suit the current hit from the back of the court for 30 rally shots in the modern game. Top players are great at playing a defensive styles forcing you to hit another shot, and Shapo's baseline game, because of his technique, does not allow for this. That is why he just goes for broke so quickly in the rally.

@@JiraiyaSama86 I didn't really notice that the swings were longer or shorter compared to Roger, I mean his backhand is not a short swing for sure but same as Roger's and Shapo's forehand is pretty economical I think. The one-dimensional aspect I'd attribute that to his struggles. I think peak Shapo (when he's playing top10) is a pretty similar player to Roger, excellent footwork, trying to stay anchored on the baseline, some flashy stuff and net plays. What differs the most I'd say is his game is still more rough than Roger's, like he'll still get into some rallies and not be as decisive as Roger which would always do something surprising or uncomfortable for the opponent. But overall, what's more obvious in my eyes is how quick and light on his feet he is, and that looks more like Roger to me than Stan.

I was very excited when Shapo came on the scene. It was completely clear he had a very special talent and, as part of that, the thrill of watching him execute such big (and apparently effortless) shots. But it became clear that the mental tenacity and agility was not following along (or developing along) with the sheer physical talent. Unless he can somehow develop the mental/psychological side of his game, I think we've seen the best of him already.

Shapo style of play reminded me a little bit of Fernando Gonzalez. He went all in in almost every point, and didnt reach his true potencial until he was coached by Larry Stefansky, where he learnt to play patiently, use a lot of BH slices, and make fewer unforced errors (he made just 3 UE against Haas in semis of australia 2007). Bottomline, Shapo needs a coach change, and has to be willing to make the effort to be better, both technically and mentally.

When he finally decides to do significantly less of what he wants to do and focus more on what he has to and can do, that might help him. There are several things about his style that if he really wants to sustain, he'll likely have to do. Sharpen his footwork and balance. Probably past Federer level. Discipline himself on timing the ball, and I mean way higher than what he's shown. And because this style is very explosive, he'll really need to take care of his stamina in and out of points. The player that's most similar, I think, in playstyle right now is Jannik Sinner. That dude hits hard and when he's on, has a very high tempo style of play that can really push a player. Or, he'll(Shapo) have to change a lot of what he does.

Must be frustrating to be that talented and in order to be among the best consistently, have to tame your talents because the flashy play is also risky and when NOT losing becomes so important, it becomes a liability to play that way. I love playing tennis but to have to win all the time just means certain things that kind of turn me away from the competitive scene. I see a phenom talent like Shapo and wonder if he feels a similar way, like he isn't allowed to play he wants to play. He has to play the way that wins and the best players are adaptable to that, mentally and physically.

Good take, I think of Ostapenko in a similar vein. It's a sad part of all competitive sports in general. All these athletes who play with soul and fire can't just be themselves, they have to play in a framework to win just because of rules. It feels so stifling. The ones who get most of the glory figure out the system and balance but tend to be way less enjoyable to watch.

This is really solid work here. Shapavalov has a lot of talent sure, but his serve is a liability which is shocking considering he's a lefty and he's just not physically strong enough. He's still very young tho and players are playing for a very long time these days so he does have a whole decade to get it together. I think we can do a video on Felix Auger Aliassime as well as he's kind of drifted off the radar when he had a WHOLE lot of heat behind him in past seasons as he was making moves but not in GS tournies unfortunately.

It's all mental. Tennis is a big mental game if you want to remain at the top (top 30). And to burst through to the elite level (top 8), you will need some serious girth, mental toughness and physical conditioning in order to earn these spots. Talent will only bring you so far. Shapovalov has the right mindset when he plays but he lacks consistency to push through. It feels like if he wins a tough match against a top opponent, or winning a big tournament, he then seems gassed out or something. Not like the youngsters in the current top 10, after winning something big, they are hungry for more, I have never seen Shapovalov being really hungry to chase and test those waters beyond him.

You can't be on the top 30 with that serve. Shapovalov double faults 10 times a match. His forehand misses the court off by 3 meters. He decided to not improve nothing. He fights, he wants to win, that's not missing. What's missing is being humble, humble to accept your game is limited. Humble to accept a coach helping you change and improve, which from all accounts he doesn't. Maturity to take the hard decisions of making uncomfortable changes that will bring better results in the future. Looks bad from match to match as his game is inconsistent. The day he accepts his game will not take him to a Grand Slam win, that his serve and forehand are a problem, that his tactics are bad and he commits to a coach and a process to improve, that day we will see him again in the top. Until then he can wonder why hitting 10 double faults and hitting the ball as hard as you can doesn't bring you wins no matter the amount of self belief in your game.

It boils down to only one thing, attitude. Players like mcenroe ,conners got away because game then was far less competitive. Kyrgios,Shapovalov....etc are mentally weak, buckle under pressure and start making scenes when loosing. That's not how champions like Sampras,Federer,Nadal, Djokovic are built.

Shapo definitely has a big game and lot of tools; the IT factor which every grand slam winner must have. But mental game is also important. I just hope he doesnt turn out like Benoit Paire, Tsonga, Fognini, etc who had similar explosive power but not consistent enough over 2 weeks and 5 sets.
