Eliminated 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (7/4) by the young Dane Holger Rune (19 years old; 40th in the world), the Canadian Denis Shapovalov (seeded n°14) summarized: “Unfortunately, I failed to play my best tennis. It’s quite frustrating. It shows that there are still a lot of things I need to work on. I’m happy to be able to go back to work. I always thought that we were learning all the time. So it’s a difficult moment, but I will continue to work. He has just won his first title (in Munich, at the beginning of May). He was in the semi-finals last week (in Lyon). He pushed good players to their limits. He plays very well, against a lot of players. Today (Tuesday) it was a bit difficult to come out on top. I’m a little frustrated. I need to improve, keep working. It had been a long time since I had committed so many faults (53). Obviously, it’s always bad when it happens in Grand Slams. It’s something that I have to improve, I have to make changes. If I have this kind of day, try to have a plan B, to change my state of mind a little, to change the game. do not pass. It’s like that. Once again, Denis Shapovalov disappeared prematurely at Roland-Garros (1st round in 2019; 2nd round in 2018 and 2020).
