Shapovalov reaches semifinals

Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov beat Taylor Fritz 7-5, 6-4 on Friday, but had to wait to find out who he'll face in the semifinals of the ATP Delray Beach Open.

Shapovalov, ranked 46th in the world, is vying to become the first 18-year-old since Japan's Kei Nishikori at Delray Beach in 2008 to win an ATP Tour title.

He'll face either eighth-seeded Chung Hyeon of South Korea or US wildcard Frances Tiafoe for a place in the final.

But first, Tiafoe and surprise Australian Open semifinalist Chung will have to complete their rain-disrupted contest, which was halted with Tiafoe leading 5-7, 6-4, 5-3.

Organizers waited several hours to try to get the contest completed, finally calling off play for the day after midnight.

The two were scheduled to return on Saturday afternoon to complete their match, which will be followed by the first semifinal between Germany's Peter Gojowczyk and American Steve Johnson, a 6-1, 6-4 winner over Russian Evgeny Donskoy.

Shapovalov and either Tiafoe or Chung will then meet on Saturday night.

Chung is the last seed left in the field, trying to buck an upset trend that claimed top seed and defending champion Jack Sock as well as second-seeded Juan Martin del Potro.

In the other half of the draw, Gojowczyk defeated Reilly Opelka 7-6 (7/5), 6-3.

Gojowczyk's victory followed his three-set triumph over sixth-seeded American John Isner, while Opelka was coming off an upset of Sock.
