Roger Federer gained a measure of revenge against Wimbledon nemesis Kevin Anderson, beating the South African 6-0 6-4 at the Miami Open on Thursday to set up a mouthwatering semi-final against a player barely half his age. Shapovalov is one of two Canadian teenagers in the semis, with 18-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime to play defending champion John Isner in the daytime, before Federer and Shapovalov face off under lights. I got a bit lucky there at the end.” CANADIAN TENNIS ON THE RISE Shapovalov broke Tiafoe four times and could hardly stop smiling at the prospect of playing Federer. The stakes are so high, semi-final of a Masters 1000 against your idol, it’s just a dream come true.” Shapovalov also spoke about what appears to be a bright future for Canadian tennis.
