The unseeded men aiming to cause Wimbledon shocks
Written by I Dig SportsShapovalov, 25, is another former Wimbledon semi-finalist who finds himself well down the rankings after an injury-hit 12 months.
He reached the fourth round last year but was severely hampered by a knee injury, eventually limping off court after his loss to Roman Safiullin.
Shapovalov did not play again in 2023, but he has secured notable wins this year over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Miami Open and Frances Tiafoe in the second round of the French Open.
The left-hander, renowned for his attacking, aggressive style of play, beat Murray and eighth seed Roberto Bautista Agut on his way to the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2021 before losing to Djokovic.
A former world number 10, Shapovalov is currently ranked 120th, but he qualified for Wimbledon this year with his protected ranking of 27th.
