Canada’s Denis Shapovalov came back from a set down to beat American Jared Donaldson 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-4 in the Delray Beach Open second round on Thursday.

“It’s definitely a confidence builder for me,” Shapovalov said of being able to come through in three sets. “I’m trying to get a little momentum [on my season] going and get a lot of matches under my belt. So I’m happy.”

Shapovalov will take on the winner of Russia’s Mikhail Youzhny and American Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals.

Long Island native Scott Lipsky and partner Divij Sharan were upended by the third-seeded duo of Ben McLachlan of Hugo Nys, who came back from a set down to win 3-6, 6-3, 10-5.
