Denis Shapovalov

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

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. ”

I'm fit, but I need to get even more fit to compete with these guys every week. ”

I always dreamed of playing a night match on Arthur Ashe Stadium. It's a dream come true for me. ”

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. ”

I'm getting my confidence and momentum, and I'm playing free and playing loose. ”

I just hope to take this confidence and keep going forward. ”

I don't get nervous anymore. The first couple times I met Roger Federer, or Grigor Dimitrov, I was a little nervous. But now, it's more natural. ”

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. ”

A lot of it's mental - a lot of the juniors, once you break them or change the momentum, they go away very quickly. ”
