Denis Shapovalov thanked his mother for all that she has done for both him and his brother, remarking that he would not have reached this point in his career if not for her sacrifices.

"Dear Mom, thank you for all that you do for me and my brother. I love you so much. Happy Mother's Day. If it weren't for you, I never would have achieved all that I have and would not be living the life that I am today," Shapovalov said.

I really enjoyed Denis Shapovalov's answer in press yesterday when asked about the importance his mother plays in his life as a tennis pro. He's a real genuine young man. "She does a really good job of being my mom off court and giving me my space and, you
know, loving me." https://t.co/DODldvq7JV

Grigor Dimitrov hailed his mother as a "real hero," and thanked her for being so "amazing." The Bulgarian regretted not being able to spend enough time with her until now, but added that the best was "yet to come."

"Dear Mama, I love you. Every day you remind me who the real hero is. Thank you for being so amazing and thoughtful. Wish we could spend more time together but I know the best is yet to come. Have a beautiful day," Dimitrov said.
