The 23-year-old Canadian dominated the match, breaking his opponent’s Tennis Serve four times over the course of just under two hours and five minutes.

The Canadian’s next opponent will be ninth-seeded Australian Alex de Minaur, a player Auger-Aliassime has bested twice at the senior level, including a triumph in the final tie as Canada claimed the 2022 Davis Cup.
