Sascha is an unbelievable player; he's going to be a champion. Hopefully, I can get there one day. Hopefully, I can get to his level. I mean, he's still better than me. But I'll keep working hard, and hopefully we could start a little bit of a rivalry.

I've never hurt a single person in my whole life - never even wanted to hurt someone.

I kind of learned that it's never over until it's over in tennis.
Denis Shapovalov -
Every win that I've been going through, it's been securing anyone's doubts or even my own doubts about whether I belong with these guys, playing these high-level tournaments.
Denis Shapovalov -
I learned to absolutely love the feeling of winning a tough match on a tough point or figuring out how to come back when I was down and win ugly. Walking off the court with a W just made me so happy.
Denis Shapovalov -
A lot of it's mental - a lot of the juniors, once you break them or change the momentum, they go away very quickly.
Denis Shapovalov -
I learned that deep within myself, if I fight to the end, I can always find a way to win.
Denis Shapovalov -
I'm very sorry to Mr. Gabas, to whom I apologised in person. Very sorry for letting my Davis Cup teammates down and for letting my country down. I apologise to all the tennis fans, to my supporters, and my sponsors. I feel ashamed of my unprofessional behaviour and will accept any consequences as a result of my action.

I never assumed that I would be able to play in a main draw so quickly after Juniors. I've been having really good results. It really is a privilege. I'm very happy for the opportunity.
Denis Shapovalov -
Maybe the serve is getting bigger.
Denis Shapovalov -
I'm trying to stay humble because if I don't keep producing results, all of this goes away, so I want to focus on the people close to me - my family and my team; they mean everything to me.
Denis Shapovalov -
I'm playing Kyle Edmund, who is so solid. He's an unbelievable player. He goes for his shots. He's not afraid to take it to the guy.
Denis Shapovalov -
I always dreamed of playing a night match on Arthur Ashe Stadium. It's a dream come true for me.
Denis Shapovalov -
I go from being not known to being so known in the tennis world, in Canada in general. It's going to be a little bit of a change to me. I'm going to have to adapt. But that doesn't change things. I still have to work really hard every day.

I've had several tough matches. Just getting through it every day, it's really motivating.
Denis Shapovalov -
In the head of the moment after losing a game, I lost the control of my emotions and hit the ball with an intention of hitting out of the court. Unfortunately and absolutely unintentionally I hit Mr. Arnaud Gabas, the chair umpire.
Denis Shapovalov -
I learned a lot from observing Wayne at the Rogers Cup. He was offered a cart across the grounds, but he wouldn't take it; he walked and stopped and signed autographs for people, and I thought that was amazing.
Denis Shapovalov -
It's crazy how it is. I mean, I go from being not known to, you know, being so known in the tennis world, in Canada in general.
Denis Shapovalov -
Every week, it's always something memorable.
Denis Shapovalov -
If I commit to pros, I really got to stick to it, and I think it was a good decision.
Denis Shapovalov
-
Obviously, it's tough - missing my parents, family in general - but I'm getting used to it. It's the life, and hopefully I'll get some time to go home maybe for a week or a bit to catch up on things.
Denis Shapovalov -
I can remember watching Federer win Grand Slams on TV when I was a kid trying to put myself in his shoes.
Denis Shapovalov -
I remember hitting the ball, and I didn't even realise where it went, and then I turned over, and I see the official bending down holding his eye.
Denis Shapovalov -
I'm fit, but I need to get even more fit to compete with these guys every week.
