  • Tennis is tough to stay at top of rankings. Competition is insane. You need to make tennis your everything to succeed and that means no room for anything else. I just don't think he has that firece drive it takes.

    • Shapo is constantly injured. That's not a sign of someone who just needs to work harder. Why is it so hard to understand that people have physical limits and going beyond them is bad for performance?

    • @AGAU1022 Shapavalov is not on the same level as Alcaraz but that being said Alcaraz turns up injured alot but he still plays up to the level of his talent. Does Shapavalov play up to the level of his talent no. That's all observers are saying because it's true. Talent is supposed to win out in the end despite certain obstacles. That truth is as old as time.

    • ​@@gregoryphillips3969the difference between Alcaraz and shapovalov is the backhand and not just because shapovalov has a one hander. as beautiful as his shot is, he doesn't have dimitrov versatility on that wing,he can't slice effectively and his grip is too extreme so he tops it all the time and cannot sustain ling rallies especially against great two handers like zverev or Medvedev.

    • @z1az285 interesting observation, but one of the things that stands out about Shapovalov is his backhand. The first time l saw him it just jumped off of the screen. Add to the fact that he is left handed with the angles he can create he can be a nightmare on a good day. Players like Casper Ruud are ranked higher and infinitely more consistent than Shapovalov no doubt. But with Ruud you watch and say nice job and he played well. Whereas with Shapovalov on his good days you are thoroughly entertained and jumping out of your chair. His backhand is a weapon a great shot. Shapovalov's biggest problem is that he lacks the patience to grind out matches where you may have to consistently hit 20 or 30 balls to win a point. He pulls the trigger too fast. If he wins it's because he got on top of an opponent had his way and steamrolled. He doesn't really strategize or adapt. He needs use his immense skills to set up points better. A good coach that he respects and will listen to would go a long way.

  • As a long time Canadian fan of Shapo, I have certainly noticed that he just doesn't look happy on the court these days. He's not enjoying it. Without that spark, how can he find the perseverance and dedication it takes to climb back up the rankings? I'm hoping he does as I want to see him and Felix as main contenders once again, going deep in tourneys.

  • If he can’t buy a second serve then he isn’t going anywhere. In addition, he needs to seriously work on his volleying skills. If he can commit to doing those two things he will regain the confidence that he has lost, his rankings will improve and more importantly he’ll enjoy himself more out on the court.

  • It´s a similar situation as it is with Thiem. They both reach the peak at about the same time, became injured at about the same time and then struggled to come back. To me it seems as if there have been a massive generation shift with a ton of new players with very high skill level. Coming back from injury and meeting one of those names You never heard of and not fully beeing mentally prepared for an exit in the first round of a GS-tournament has to make an impact on Your self confidence. If this happens repetedly, of course, You are going to find yourself struggling with motivation and not feeling too happy. I see a another similarity with Thiem in the one-handed backhand. I don´t think it´s a handicap in general to have a OH-backhand but I do think that it´s a shot that could be more vulnerable if Your are struggling with form and motivation. On the other hand, if Your life situation as a professional tennis player is on top, I think that the onehander can bring more variaty and creativity to the game.

  • Shapo has a flamboyant style. Its effective. But he ALSO needs to be able to grind, and play HEAVY. That means to be able to hit with heavy topspin , deep into the opponents backhand corner. He has great weapons when he flattens it out, and his serve has great power. But, I'd prefer it if he took a little off the serve, and placed it better. Above all else, I would want to see consistency in his team, and focusing on a clear improvement plan, based on analytics. The flashy play is great for highlight reels, but wins matter more for his career.

There was a player, Nicolas Pereira from Venezuela who could have done exponentially better than he did in his career ( he won the French Open, Wimbledon, U S open juniors before he turned pro all in the same year) .....but after having good initial success in the ATP tour, his coach said he wasn't willing to put the work and partied all the time.....

  • he’s a head-case but it’s bc his style of play cannot hold up v. strong baseliners with two-handers. everyone on tour knows he can hit 2 backhands in a row tops, then he shanks the 3rd. his serve/forehand isn’t strong enough to defend a wonky one-hander, period. he’s finished. i love him, but he can’t address the *technical* problems at this point so he gets intensely frustrated.

  • HIs game has remained static for years. He's certainly talented but go back and watch him in 2017/2018 and today. He may have matured physically but he rarely comes to the net, his point construction wavers between good and poor and he too often tries to go for the highlight reel (low-percentage) shot. Your meat and potatoes game needs to be consistent and able to withstand pressure. Then you have to make it elastic enough by adding wrinkles and shoring up the areas that can be attacked like serve and volley, volleying in general, resetting the point, etc. These are all things that he has either made little or no progress in for a while.
