Canadian Denis Shapovalov secured a decisive 6-1, 6-2 victory over American Govind Nanda on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the Mifel Tennis Open in Los Cabos, Mexico.
In his first match of the summer hard-court season, the third-seeded Shapovalov dominated the contest, which lasted just one hour. He delivered a strong performance, firing four aces and converting five of his seven break point opportunities while winning 73 percent of his first-serve points. Nanda, by contrast, was only able to break serve once from four chances.
Shapovalov, who received a bye in the opening round, will now face the winner of the match between Australia’s Tristan Schoolkate and Germany’s Daniel Altmaier.
