Denis Shapovalov’s fiancée and Swedish tennis player, Mirjam Bjorklund, recently shared her reaction to the former’s victory at the 2025 Los Cabos Open in Mexico. The Canadian star defeated the USA’s Aleksandar Kovacevic in the men’s singles finals of the ATP 250 tournament on Saturday, July 19.

The 26-year-old Shapovalov won the match against Kovacevic convincingly in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 to clinch his second singles title in 2025. He had won the Dallas Open after beating Casper Ruud in the finals earlier this year in February.

"Post title FaceTime with the little fam," she added further.

Bjorklund also shared an ATP Tour's Instagram post, published after Denis Shapovalov won his fourth career tour title at the Los Cabos Open.

Shapovalov came to this competition on the back of a disappointing grass-court season that saw him get eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon after a defeat to Mariano Navone. The former World No. 10 talked about hard work paying off after his latest ATP title win.

"I want to congratulate Aleksandar on an amazing week. He beat some great players. Honestly, I didn’t watch the match [vs. Rublev] yesterday, but my coach told me you played insane, so, congrats on an amazing week."
