During his campaign at the 2023 Miami Open, Denis Shapovalov, who held a 6-6 win/loss record at the time, maintained his focus on the positives in his life during his poor run of form.

Despite having lost five of his seven matches at the time, Shapovalov stated that his life was "pretty awesome" and credited his now-fiance Mirjam Bjorklund for playing a large part in his happiness.

"Life in general has been pretty awesome. I think a big part of that is obviously Mirjam [Bjorklund], my girlfriend. First of all we’ve just been able to spend a lot more time together and do fun stuff," Denis Shapovalov told the ATP.

He further expressed that spending time with Bjorklund brought him immense joy as the couple indulged in fun activities, explored new places, and enjoyed each other's company at restaurants.

"I feel like wherever we are, we always think of fun things to do, things to see and restaurants and stuff like that to go to. I just feel like life is super fun. I’m enjoying it a lot, being by her side. I think she’s an amazing person and she makes me very happy. Not much more you can ask for," he added.
