            <p>Denis Shapovalov did not give up, but Gaël Monfils was able to get more of a rabbit out of his hat in the final round to win 6-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-7 and 6 -3 in the third round of the US Open on Saturday.

The Canadian was used to lead two sets from scratch, but saw the Frenchman turn things around until he led 4-1 with two breaks in the fourth set. At that time, the semifinalist in Miami earlier this year rolled up his sleeves, saved a match point and forced a fifth set.

Except that Monfils has multiplied the shocks to get his ticket to the knockout stage after 3:34 minutes. He will be opposed to the fourth round to Pablo Andujar.

In this first match between the two men, Shapovalov was able to slip with the first set to 7-6. He was able to come back from behind even though he lost his service on two occasions. He multiplied the rises to the net to finally afford the initial set.

The Canadiens served for the second run, but the French bounced back to force a tiebreaker again. He leveled the match as he once again caught Shapovalov in the net.

Monfils was on his way to victory after having the third set in his pocket and while he had two breaks of service. Except that the Canadian has come back to break the tie. After clearing a match, he saw Monfils offer him the round with a double fault.

Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., Made 11 double faults and 64 unforced errors during the clash, which kept the noisy spectators at Louis Armstrong Stadium on the run. He will also have animated the show with 75 shots winners.
