Denis Shapovalov wants everyone to know that he's finally been allowed back on Twitter:

The 19-year-old had been absent from the platform, and, after his first-round win at the Australian Open last Tuesday, he let the media know that it wasn't by choice.

"They just kind of kicked me out," he said. "They said apparently, when I created my account, I was too young or something like this, so I need a verification with the parent. Something crazy like this."

The Canadian had his account made in March 2010 when he was just 10 years old.

"Please, Twitter, please let me back in!" he begged during his press conference.

The teenager had a solid run in Melbourne without Twitter available as a distraction; he beat Pablo Andujar and Taro Daniel in straight sets before falling to Novak Djokovic in the third round. It's the teen's best result so far Down Under.
