What are his chances of advancing another round or two?
In the round of 32's he plays Kyle Edmund, that is the same dude he was playing when he almost blinded the umpire..........

You can be sure Edmund will be trash talking Denis big time during (and before) the match. It will be a mental test for the young Canuck that is for sure. Of course it turned out almost blinding the umpire was actually a good thing for Shapovalov, it could have destroyed him, but instead he turned it into a positive. I mean look at him now, he's on fire now and has moved up into Top 50. And oh yeah he could still play the Junior US Open if he wanted to.
I think he gets by Edmund, he handles pressure so well for being a young kid so I don't think it will be a factor.
If he plays Mahut in Round of 16's I think he wins because Mahut will be exhausted. If he plays Busta, well that is a different story, Busta can wear anybody down and I think he'll be too much for the Canuck. But hey one match at a time, he has some major mental hurdles to get over when he takes the court against Edmund.
