Talented Canadian Denis Shapovalov has already established himself as the most prominent player of his generation, and he confirms that yet again this week. A month and a half after winning his first Futures title (read more about that HERE), Denis become the first player born in 1999 who scored a Challenger win! He received a wild card at home tournament in Drummondville and took full advantage of it, beating fellow Canadian and former junior number 1 Filip Peliwo 6-2 3-6 6-1 in just 73 minutes.

After the match, Peliwo said that he clearly wasn't at his best, struggling with some physical issues, but we can't take anything from the youngster's triumph. Denis fired 10 aces and saved 5 out of 6 break points, to add another big milestone to his career resume.

Denis played better in the crucial points of the first set, saving all 4 break points and taking Peliwo's serve on both opportunities he got. He was off to a great start, breaking rival in the very first game, and he sealed the first set with another break in game 7, taking it 6-2.

The second set was closer and this time Peliwo was the one who took his chance on return, breaking in the second game which was enough to win it 6-3. It looked that former junior Grand Slam champion has found his rhythm and that he will be stronger in the third set, but Shapovalov had the other plans, showing how good he already is despite being just 16.

He lost only 3 points on serve in the third set, breaking Filip in games two and four to wrap up his first Challenger win, in only the second tournament of this level he has entered. ALSO READ: Federer Tweets Surprise News, Leaves Everyone Cheering!
