Canadian Tennis Star Auger-Aliassime Advances to U.S. Open Quarterfinals
Canada’s own Felix Auger-Aliassime impressed fans with a dominant performance at the U.S. Open, securing a spot in the quarterfinals after defeating Andrey Rublev of Russia in straight sets on Monday.
This marks Auger-Aliassime’s strongest showing at a Grand Slam event since his quarterfinal appearance at the 2022 Australian Open. The Montreal native, who recently stunned third-seeded Alexander Zverev, is now gearing up to take on Australia’s Alex de Minaur for a shot at the semifinals.
In a remarkable display of skill, Auger-Aliassime delivered 13 aces and capitalized on key opportunities to outplay Rublev. The match was a thrilling back-and-forth affair, with Auger-Aliassime’s powerful forehand shots and strategic plays leading him to victory.
Meanwhile, in the women’s doubles event, Canadian duo Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe are gearing up to face tough competition in their round of 16 match, while rising star Leylah Fernandez and tennis icon Venus Williams are set to showcase their talents on the court.
