Auger-Aliassime cruises past 2nd straight French opponent to reach Montpellier semis | CBC Sports
Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the semifinals of the Open Sud de France tennis tournament with a convincing 7-5, 6-1 win over French wild-card Harold Mayot on Friday.
After coming up second-best in the service game in his tough second-round win over up-and-coming Frenchman Arthur Cazeaux on Thursday, the third seed from Montreal looked to be back to his old self against Mayot.
Auger-Aliassime had 10 aces, hit into just two double-faults and won 65 per cent of service points in a match that took 79 minutes to complete.
He also faced just two break points. While he didn’t defend either, he broke Mayot five times on six chances.
