Montreal’s rising tennis star Felix Auger-Aliassime faced a defeat against American Frances Tiafoe with a score of 6-3, 6-4 in the fourth round of the Cincinnati Open on Wednesday night. Despite serving 13 aces, Auger-Aliassime struggled with 37 unforced errors, while Tiafoe, seeded 17th, committed only 16 unforced errors and secured the win in one hour and 40 minutes.
In the third-round doubles match, Canadian player Gabriela Dabrowski and Czech player Barbora Krejcikova lost to the Czech pair of Linda Noskova and Marie Bouzkova in a close contest with a score of 6-3, 1-6, 10-7. Dabrowski, hailing from Ottawa, typically partners with Luisa Stefani, but Stefani’s ongoing elbow injury led to Krejcikova stepping in as her doubles partner for this match.
