CHENGDU — Canada’s Denis Shapovalov is through to the semifinals at the Chengdu Open after downing Adrian Mannarino of France 6-7(6), 6-3, 6-2 in the quarterfinals on Sunday.

Shapovalov converted 4 of 8 available break points and saved all four break points he faced across the two-hour, 31-minute match.

He closed out the match with a solid rally that ended when Mannarino sent his return into the net.
