Watch: Mangling Shapovalov


Denis Shapovalov knocked off Juan Martin del Potro and Rafael Nadal back-to-back en route to the Montreal semifinals last summer then surged through qualifying to reach the US Open round of 16.

Still, Shapovalov isn't exactly a household name in some arenas.

Watch: Father Federer

Shapovalov showed a sense of humor sharing this replay tweet of the Brisbane stadium announcer bungling his name in a near "Denis Shapacalifragilisticexpialidocious" moment prior to the Canadian's match with Kyle Edmund.


So how exactly do you pronounce the world No. 51's last name?

Shapovalov shared this video of this young fan getting it exactly right. Perhaps she's got a future as an announcer?
