It emerges at the top of the table, at the Australian Open.
After the defeat of Rafael Nadal in the previous round, here is Daniil Medvedev out of the circuit after being beaten by Sebastian Korda in three sets 7-6 (9/7), 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), Friday in Melbourne .
The Russian, who had become world number 1 a month after his final in the Australian Major last year, never found the solution against Korda.
The latter will face the Pole Hubert Hurkacz (11th) - scorer in five sets of Shapovalov - to try to climb for the first time in his career in the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam tournament.
