(Reuters) - Denis Shapovalov may have had to wait longer than he would have liked before winning his first ATP title at the Stockholm Open but the young Canadian said on Monday he always knew his day would come.
Shapovalov was 0-for-7 in ATP semi-finals before Saturday's win over Japan's Yuichi Sugita, which he followed with a victory over Serbian Filip Krajinovic to become the first Canadian to win a men's title since Milos Raonic in 2016.
