Denis Shapovalov is the youngest player since 2005 to crack the ATP Top 30 ranking. The Canadian, born in Israel, is carrying on his young promise as the 14th ranked player in Tennis right now. With support from his girlfriend, family, and coaches, Denis is looking to finally get his hands on some Grand Slams in 2021. Also, for those curious ones, we have got more details to come, so stick around.

Born on 15 April 1999, in Tel Aviv, Israel, to his Russian and Greek parents, Denis was the second of two sons of his parents. His mother was a former Soviet National Tennis player and after moving to Tel Aviv she became a coach. The family moved to Canada before Denis was even one and there from the age of five the youngest Shapovalov took to Tennis as fish to water.

Trained by his mother and after honing his talent in the youth circuit, Denis went pro (his mother is still his coach). He rose to international fame when at 18 years of age the Canadian dispatched del Potro and Nadal to reach the semi finals at the 2017 Canadian Open. In 2021, four years later, the player is still hunting for major titles while being pushed by Canada, his mother, and girlfriend. And for those here only for the gf details, here we go.

Young tennis players can be a little too focused on their careers, and rightly show, there is a better chance of a young player being a-flash-in-the-pan than a generational talent. Denis Shapovalov obviously has a lot of talent but talent alone has never made a player successful in the pros. So, it is understandable at age 18 Denis not having a dedicated relationship with a girlfriend.

But only focusing on just one thing can also be detrimental to the mental health of a player over a long period of time. Now aged 22, Denis is in the right space of mind to better his game and also continue a relationship to drive his focus away from the game even for a short period of time. To that end the young Canadian tennis star has been dating fellow tennis player Mirjam Bjorklund for over a year now in 2021.
