(AP Photo)Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov pulled off another big win, overcoming a slow start to beat 15th-seeded Tomas Berdych 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5) in the first round of the Italian Open on Tuesday. Already up to a career-high ranking of 29th this week, the victory over Berdych will move Shapovalov ahead of No. On his first match point, Shapovalov wrong-footed Berdych with another shot down the line that his opponent couldn’t get back.
