Shapovalov Pushed All the Way by German Veteran
In reaching the second round, the 22-year old Canadian has now matched his previous best showing at Wimbledon.
But he was made to work very hard for his first-round victory by the German veteran, Philipp Kohlschreiber, the world number 115.
It was a match largely dominated by service, with fine margins either way making all the difference.
That was the case io the first set when Shapovalov secured the only break to go ahead, and again in the second, when it was Kohlschreiber’s turn to seize the only break.
The pattern continued in the third set, with Shapovalov going ahead once more, but the games were becoming longer and scrappier, and chances started to appear for both men.
That was certainly the case in the fourth set where the two men swapped breaks, before Kohlschreiber broke the man 15 years his junior to level the match.
However, the fifth set became a service battle again, and there was only one break created in its entire duration. It was Shapovalov who converted it and he went on to seal the win with his second match point.
