Denis Shapovalov

STRING

Exploding onto the tennis scene last summer after switching to the VCORE SV, Denis Shapovalov is the youngest player in the ATP Top 100. Named the ATP’s Most Improved Player in 2017, Shapovalov made the semifinals of two Masters 1000 events and reached the fourth round at the US Open.

The 19-year-old became the highest ranked Canadian this past May, as well as the youngest player to enter the ATP Top 30 since 2005. His risky, but crafty style caught the eye of world No. 1 Roger Federer who said, “I like people who go for (their shots) and have a positive demeanor about themselves. I’m a big fan of his and I’m sure we are going to see a lot more of Denis in the future.”

Caroline Garcia reached a career-high ranking of world No. 6 this June. In 2017, Garcia’s aggressive baseline play earned her a spot in the French Open quarterfinals and catapulted her ranking into the top 10.

Last October, she became the first WTA player to win Beijing and Wuhan in the same year. Garcia’s impressive results late in the year helped her qualify for the WTA Finals in Singapore, where she had impressive wins over Elina Svitolina and Caroline Wozniacki.

Steve Johnson

(USA)

RACQUET

Arguably one of the best college tennis players to ever play the sport, Steve Johnson has elevated his game from the college ranks to the ATP Tour. Born and raised in southern California, Johnson captured his fourth ATP title - and second of the year - this past July at the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, RI.

Dictating points with his strong serve and forehand, the 28-year-old reached the third round at all four Grand Slams and has a bronze medal from the 2016 Rio Olympics to his name.
