Three to See, Indian Wells Day 2: Osaka vs. Errani, Shapovalov vs. van de Zandschulp, Stephens vs. Sherif

WINSTON SALEM ATP 250: There has been a Mikhail Youzhny - the retired 37-year-old Russian who ranked as high as No. 8 in 2008 - sighting with Denis Shapovalov. It appears there may be some sort trial coaching relationship going on.

The young Canadian has been through a few coaches in the previous year, and is 4-11 since Miami—three of those defeats were to Jan-Lennard Struff.

His ranking has dropped to No. 38 from a career-high of No. 20 following Miami.

Youzhny is a former top 8 player from Russia who retired in 2018. He has not previously worked as a tour coach.

Shapovalov is a wildcard and the tournament's second seed.
