Denis Shapovalov defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 3-6, and 6-4 in the first round of Indian Wells. The Canadian broke Tsitsipas' serve in the final game of the match to confirm his dominance on hard court in this rivalry, where he now leads the head-to-head 5-0. The defeat deepens the Greek's poor form, as he has suffered three consecutive losses on the circuit, dropping to world No. 43 in the ATP rankings this Monday. Additionally, last year he reached the round of 16 in the Californian desert, so this drop may be even more significant.
