Canada's Shapovalov Ousted from U.S. Open Doubles Play with First-Round Loss
Denis Shapovalov, Canadian tennis star, has been eliminated from the U.S. Open Men's Doubles tournament after a first-round defeat.
Shapovalov and his partner Rohan Bopanna of India lost in straight sets to the French duo of Fabrice Martin and Jeremy Chardy, 6-4, 7-5, on Thursday.
The Canadian-Indian pair had a disappointing performance, failing to convert any of their four break point opportunities.
Despite the loss, Shapovalov's performance at the U.S. Open has been impressive overall.
The 23-year-old reached the third round of the Men's Singles tournament, where he was defeated by Andrey Rublev of Russia.
Shapovalov's strong showing at Flushing Meadows is a testament to his talent and hard work.
He is currently ranked 21st in the world in singles and is considered one of the rising stars of the sport.
Despite his doubles setback, Shapovalov will have the opportunity to bounce back at the upcoming Laver Cup, where he will represent Team World.
