* 新聞來源：https://goo.gl/oB5XFS 加拿大運動網 Denis Shapovalov walked onto Arthur Ashe Stadium last year and felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of the court, the brightness of the lights, and the rousing cheers of the crowd. Then he started playing. And those outside distractions seemed to fade away. →希望這次能繼續保持，不要分心，好好打球XD The young Canadian tennis star won't be frazzled when he takes the court next week in his second U.S. Open. But the memories of his debut at the Grand Slam aren't far from his mind. "It's probably one of the greatest memories of my career so far, playing under those lights," Shapovalov told The Canadian Press from New York on Thursday. "I just remember how insanely big the court was and how it wasn't so easy to concentrate at the beginning because there was so much going on, so many people there. "But I always wanted to play on the big court. So when I got the chance last year, instead of getting afraid I got inspired and motivated to go out there and show how well I could play." 沙弟一直想在大球場比賽，當去年美網有機會時，他想讓大家知道他能打到多好。 Shapovalov burst on the tennis scene last summer when he followed up a semifinal run at the Rogers Cup in Montreal with a Round of 16 appearance at the U.S. Open. The Richmond Hill, Ont., product started that Rogers Cup ranked 143rd in the world and rose to No. 51, beating Daniil Medvedev, Kyle Edmund and No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (after three qualifying victories) in New York. →去年羅傑斯盃（時排名143）打入SF敗給小Z。　去年美網一路從資格賽打上去，擊敗阿梅、阿蒙，和第八種子松嘎，最後第四輪三盤搶　七都輸敗給P. C. Busta，排名升到51名。 Shapovalov, who enters this year's U.S. Open at No. 28, said he's matured and grown as a person since last year, gaining the confidence that comes with upset wins in big tournaments. And his tennis game has improved, too. 今年是美網第28種子，沙弟認為自己變成熟並且比賽時也有進步。（嗚嗚嗚有嗎今年搶七和神龍DF在幹嘛） "I'm physically stronger, mentally stronger, everything's gotten better," he said. 自認身心都Level up的沙弟。 But the biggest difference between the lead-up to the last U.S. Open and this one? "I feel a lot more relaxed," Shapovalov said. "Last year was about me backing up my results at the Rogers Cup and I had to qualify so there was a lot of pressure. "This year I'm keeping the same routine: staying at the same hotel, eating at the same places, so I'm more familiar with everything. I feel that sense of calmness and experience and I'm very comfortable right now." 覺得今年比較放鬆，去年因為羅傑斯盃的好成績較有壓力，今年仍保持慣例，住同一家飯店，在同樣的地方用膳，對一切更加熟悉。感到平和，覺得舒適。 While the 2017 Rogers Cup endeared Shapovalov to Canadian tennis fans, he feels the U.S. Open helped put him on the map in a more global sense. It also proved he could continue the success he'd enjoyed in Montreal. "It was one thing to play well one week at the Rogers Cup and make the semifinals but the U.S. Open was really a chance to back it up and show it wasn't a fluke," the 19-year-old said. "I feel like I did such an unbelievable job with that. ... I kept my level up and beat some great players along the way to make the Round of 16 so definitely I feel like it kind of secured what people were saying about me and the hype around me. 去年美網的成績讓他證明了羅傑斯盃打得好不是運氣，並且美網能讓全世界的球迷認識他，同時增加大賽經驗，擊敗優秀對手的氛圍讓他很享受。 "After that I was pretty comfortable with myself and pretty confident that I could go out there and compete with anyone." Shapovalov, one of three Canadian men with direct entries into the U.S. Open main draw, heads into the major on back-to-back third-round losses at the Toronto Rogers Cup and the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, where he fell to No. 25 Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont. 沙弟今年羅傑斯盃和辛辛都止步第三輪。 (P.S. 今年是辛辛初體驗，打好打滿。) Shapovalov will play a qualifier in the first round while Raonic opens against American Jared Donaldson. No. 88 Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver matches up against Slovakia's Lukas Lacko. 沙弟第一場對上資格賽勝出的球員，肯尼對上美國的Jared Donaldson，加拿大知心哥哥 Pospisil則對上Lacko。資格賽晉級者為好朋友FAA Shapovalov will again be without coach Martin Laurendeau — the former Montreal tennis pro hasn't travelled since dislocating a disc in his back in June. But his mother Tessa, also a former pro who owns a tennis club in Vaughan, Ont., has taken over the coaching reigns in her son's five tournaments since. 從六月起教練Martin因為背部椎間盤突出而一直沒有陪伴沙弟參賽，媽媽Tessa坐穩教頭位置，已經陪伴沙弟五場巡迴賽。 Shapovalov will have another familiar face, albeit a furry one, in his coaching box in New York. Storm, an arctic wolf stuffed animal, has been seen propped up in front of Tessa all year since Shapovalov bought him at an Australian airport before the season-opening Brisbane International in January. 今年一月布里斯本國際賽在澳洲機場買的北極狼Storm會持續陪伴沙弟參賽。 "I like to call my team the wolf pack, and on the court I like to think of myself kind of as an arctic wolf," Shapovalov explained. "You're out there by yourself, you're hunting against your opponent, you're trying to get the better of him. "I feel like I'm pretty fierce, like an arctic wolf in that way." 希望變得跟北極狼一樣有侵略性的沙弟.jpg 所以以後沙弟粉要改名叫狼粉嗎XDDDDD，還有新聞中的照片也挑的太...眼歪嘴斜了吧以下補萌照： instagram: chi_mo_ https://i.imgur.com/wyC4WWo.jpg
