They helped lead Canada to an ATP Cup title, now Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime are looking to carve out some individual glory in the 2022 Australian Open.
The young duo hope to continue the momentum of their team victory in the men's singles draw in Melbourne, and they'll both enter the first Grand Slam of the year ranked among the top 15 players in the world.
Shapovalov, 22, enters at 14th — just off his career high ranking of No. 10 (achieved in 2020). A good run on the hard courts in Melbourne will help "Shapo" climb back towards his career zenith.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Auger-Aliassime begins play at the Australian Open sporting a career-high World No. 9 ranking. The Montreal native will aim to stay within the top 10 with a good showing.
