Denis Shapovalov (Russian: Денис Викторович Шаповалов; born April 15, 1999) is a Canadian tennis player. He reached a career high ATP singles ranking of No. 172 on April 10, 2017 and a career high ITF junior ranking of No. 2 on July 11, 2016. Shapovalov won the 2016 Wimbledon junior singles title and the 2015 US Open junior doubles title with compatriot Félix Auger-Aliassime.
Shapovalov was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, to a Russian Jewish father and a Catholic Christian mother: Viktor, involved in volleyball, and tennis coach Tessa. Shapovalov has one sibling, his older brother Evgeniy. The family moved to Canada before Denis' first birthday. He started to play tennis at the club his mother was coaching at when he was 5 years old and he is still coached by her along with Adriano Fuorivia. His mother Tessa opened up her own tennis club in Vaughan named TessaTennis to help give him a home base to train at and to coach other juniors.
In October 2013, Shapovalov won his first junior singles title at the ITF G5 in Burlington. He captured his second singles title in April 2014 at the junior ITF G5 in Burlington. In July 2014, Shapovalov won the singles and doubles titles at the junior ITF G4 in San José.
In January at the junior Australian Open, Shapovalov advanced to the second round in singles as a qualifier. He lost in the first round in doubles. At the junior Wimbledon in June, Shapovalov once again successfully qualified for the singles main draw and reached the third round. He was defeated in the opening round of the doubles event. In late August in College Park, he made it to his first junior ITF G1 singles final but was defeated by fellow Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime. At the junior US Open in September, Shapovalov qualified in singles and made it to the third round for his second straight Grand Slam. In doubles, he won the title with compatriot Félix Auger-Aliassime. In October, Shapovalov and fellow Canadians Félix Auger-Aliassime and Benjamin Sigouin captured the first Junior Davis Cup title for Canada in its history. In late November, he won his first professional doubles title at the ITF Futures in Pensacola.
