Shapovalov Powers Past Barrere
World no. 29 Denis Shapovalov struck 18 aces and won 83 percent points on his first serve as he powered past world no. 49 Gregoire Barrere in the second round on Thursday.
The Canadian was not broken in the one hour and 55 minute contest as he saved the only break point that he faced during the match and converted 2 of 5 to score a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (9-7) victory.
Shapovalov was dominant throughout the contest and also struck 45 winners during the match. The 26th seed had begun his campaign with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Radu Albot in the first round. The lefty had out-aced the Moldovan qualifier 13-0 and struck 45 winners in that match as well.
Shapovalov has been inconsistent by his standards this year, reaching the quarterfinal stage just once in his season opener in Adelaide. He had also made it to the third round in the first two majors. Can he reach the fourth round at Wimbledon?
This is only the second time that Shapovalov is in the third round of the grass court major. The last time he reached this far was in 2021, when he went on to reach the semifinals before falling to Novak Djokovic.
How far can he go this year?

The 29-year-old left-hander hit 56 winners, saved 6 of 9 break points and converted 6 of 13 to send the world no. 4 packing.

Last year, he was stopped in the third round by Alex de Minaur. Can he make it to the fourth round of a major for the first time in his career?
