Canadian Denis Shapovalov overcame Leo Borg, the son of tennis legend Bjorn Borg, and the partisan crowd on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Nordic Open in Stockholm.

Third-seeded Shapovalov, who won in Stockholm in 2019, defeated Swedish wild card Leo Borg 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. Borg, seeking his third career ATP Tour victory, saved 11 of 18 break points and converted 3 of 7 on his opportunities.
