Canada’s Denis Shapovalov was knocked out in his opening match at the ATP Stuttgart Open at Tennis Club Weissenhof on Thursday.

The 23-year-old left-hander was defeated in two tie-breaks 7-6 [6], 7-6 [4] by Germany’s Oscar Otte, ranked No 61, in second round action after he received a first round bye.

This was the fourth consecutive loss on tour for Shapovalov after he also lost his opening matches in Geneva and at the French Open (and the quarter-finals at Rome).

Otte, who beat Daniel Altmaier (7-6 [2], 7-6 [4]) in the previous round, is through to the quarter-finals and will next meet Frenchman Bejamin Bonzi.
