Denis Shapovalov is targeting a return to the top of men’s tennis.

His performance during the past season has instilled a belief in the once-rising Canadian star that he will get there.

While top seeds Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner captivated the tennis world in 2025 — and Félix Auger-Aliassime commanded Canadian attention with his semifinal run at the U.S. Open — Shapovalov quietly built a comeback year.

“It’s obvious that when I’m able to play at my top level … I’m able to push the top guys,” he said.
