Felix Auger-Aliassime keeps on winning!

The 18-year-old from Canada is currently ranked no. 147 and he had to start his run in the ATP250 in Chengdu starting from the qualifications.

In the 2nd round, Felix had a tough task ahead against the seed no.2 Hyeon Chung, but it is now clear that the young Canadian has the potential to upset everyone on tour.

Felix was 1 set and a break up (7-6 4-2) when the South Korean found his way back to break him twice and bring the affair to the 3^rd set. Auger-Aliassime didn’t lose faith in his tennis and he managed to immediately break his opponent in the 1^st

game of the 3^rd set before holding all his subsequent service games. That was enough for Felix to win the match 7-6 (2) 5-7 6-4.

After this win, Felix is the first player born in the third millennium to reach a quarter-final in an ATP event.

Next vs. Tomic

Felix will face Bernard Tomic in the quarters. They have never played each other so far.
