Shapovalov lights up Lenglen

On what was typically Shapovalov’s least-preferred surface, this was always going to be a danger match and it showed early on, with the young Canadian frustrated at Millman’s measured aggression and low error count. Steady, light rain fell throughout the opening set and after a brief on-court delay it was enough to break Millman’s early momentum and settle Shapovalov as the teenager rebounded from 2-5 down to reel off five straight games to claim the set, 7-5.
