Felix Auger-Aliassime won an extremely difficult second-round match against an inspired Alex Molcan. The Canadian player had to recover from a 2-sets-down deficit before winning 3-6 3-6 6-3 6-2 6-2.
During the course of the match, similarly to other players, Felix was extremely vocal about the quality of the balls. Felix commented: “I have never complained about it but the balls are not bouncing. I am hitting normally. I don’t know…you can’t do anything….I have never seen it before. Show the show for kids”
