#2 Denis Shapovalov

The 18-year-old Canadian sensation became a hero overnight after defeating Rafael Nadal at the Montreal Masters in August. He followed that up with a round of 16 appearance at the US Open, his best ever in any Grand Slam so far.

However, he had a lot of heads turning long before his win against the world no. 1 with his performances on the Challenger circuit.
He has two Challenger titles to his name in 2017 and gained a lot of points on the ATP World Tour as well. The ranking he has achieved is commensurate with his performances throughout the year, especially in the second half of the season.
With a big serve, a bigger forehand, and an equally impressive backhand, Shapovalov is surely one to watch out for in the future.
