be there (at the tournaments).
Now they believe they deserve
to be there. Now we are one
more step forward; thanks to
Andreescu, they believe they
can win. We have moved the
dialogue from how to get into
the Top 100, to how to get to
top 10,” says Downey.
Downey says he thinks
Andreescu, Shapovalov, and
Auger-Aliassime are feeding
off each other. “I think there
is something very special
happening between them—
there is a pack mentality there,
they each want the other to
be successful and are gain-
ing confidence in each other’s
wins.”
“It’s insane to see what Andr-
eescu is doing,” Shapovalov
said in a Miami Open press
conference. Regarding two
Canadians making the semi
finals in Miami, he said, "It's
kind of crazy to share this with
Félix. I was just thinking in
the locker room how far back
we go, and from the national
groupings when we were eight
and nine years old, so it's so
crazy to see how far we have
come.”
