Denis Shapovalov and clay have never been friends. The Canadian's clay season came to an end after losing in the first round of Roland Garros 2026 to Jaime Faria (6-4, 7-5, 6-4). Following his defeat, he criticized in the press conference: "In an ideal world, it wouldn't exist. I repeat this after each season. I tell myself: you know what? Next year, I'm not playing on clay. I don't see the point. At a certain point, it's tough. I feel like my weapons don't help me as much as they should in these conditions. The clay season seems to last ten years," concluded the Canadian, in statements collected by Ubitennis.
