Tennis broadcaster Robert Bettauer, a former national team coach, said he has been impressed by Shapovalov's net game and consistency from the backcourt. In women's singles, Leylah Annie Fernandez of Laval, Que., and Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., have spots in the main draw. Fernandez, who turned 18 this month, will open against 31st-seeded Magda Linette of Poland while Bouchard, a wild-card entry, will meet Russia's Anna Kalinskaya.

"We had a lot of time to really build up the game," Shapovalov said at a recent availability."He's really trying to make me more of a well-rounded and smarter player. I really feel like he's helped me a lot with that.At the last Grand Slam in New York, Auger-Aliassime, Shapovalov and Pospisil made Canadian tennis history when they all reached the round of 16 at the tournament.

Broadcaster Jesse Levine, a former Canadian Davis Cup team member, was on-site at Flushing Meadows to call matches. He said the positive results can rub off on the others.
