Tuesday just wasn't Denis Shapovalov's day.
Before losing to Kyle Edmund 6-7 (5), 7-6 (4), 6-4 in the first round of the Brisbane International in Australia, the 18-year-old Canadian tennis sensation heard the announcer awkwardly stumble over his name.
Shapovalov took it in stride, though.
For reference, this is how you pronounce Shapovalov's name:
