The Match

Felix had to battle hard against the Georgian especially after he started not in the best way after being broken already in the first game at 15. Things got even more complicated when the 18-year-old was broken again in the 5th game (1-4) to lose the opener 6-2.

The second set went straight to the tiebreak that Felix won at 3 after conquering 4 consecutive points (from 3-3 to 7-3).

Finally, the only difference between Felix and his opponent in the 3rd set was a break in the 7th game before Auger-Aliassime won the match 2-6 7-6(3) 6-4.

After this contest, the head to head between Auger Aliassime and Basilashvili is 2-0 for Felix. Furthermore, the Canadian will be ranked no.22 after this week to reach a new career high.
