Before Denis Shapovalov began his campaign in Dallas, his fiancee Mirjam Bjorklund introduced the newest member of their family - a Cavachon puppy named 'Yatzy'. The couple shared several images of the puppy on their Instagram accounts.
After he defeated third seed and defending champion Tommy Paul in the semifinal, Shapovalov told Tennis.com how having Yatzy with him in Dallas helped him disconnect.
"We just got a puppy. I have Mirjam here with the dog and with the hotel being so close, I'm really just able to disconnect and enjoy the area here," Shapovalov told TENNIS.com.
"Obviously, the facilities are amazing, so you don't mind spending time here at all as a player. It's never just one factor when things click, it's a combination going right," he added.
Bjorklund, who is also a professional tennis player, shared an image on her Instagram Story with Shapovalov and Yatzy after the Canadian triumphed in Dallas. She captioned it:
"Yatzy's first trip = Yatzy's first title"
