Canada's Shapovalov upset by Fucsovics in first round of Australian Open

Canada's Denis Shapovalov lost a lengthy four-set match with Hungary's Marton Fucsovics on Monday in the opening round of the Australian Open.

Shapovalov, from Richmond Hill, Ont., entered the tournament as the 13th seed, his highest-ever seed at a Grand Slam event.

No. 32 seed Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., just missed making Canada 1-1 on the opening day as rain suspended his match against Italian lucky loser Lorenzo Giustino with the Canadian leading 6-2, 6-1, 5-2. Shapovalov came into the tournament in good form, having knocked off two top-10 players and losing a third-set tiebreak to world No. 2 Novak Djokovic earlier this month at the ATP Cup event in Australia.

"Usually this is not a lucky number, but for me, my favourite number," said Fucsovics. "I played some of my best tennis today. Everything was working well." An emotional Shapovalov yelled "come on!" to himself after powering a forehand past a running Fucsovics to tie the set up 3-3. The duo traded games twice to keep it even at 5-5.
