Canadian tennis star Félix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the final of the Open Occitanie tournament in Montpellier, France, after defeating Jesper de Jong of the Netherlands. He will face Aleksandar Kovacevic of the United States in the championship match.
MONTPELLIER — Montreal's Félix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the final of the Open Occitanie tennis tournament with a 6-4, 7-6 win over Jesper de Jong of the Netherlands on Saturday.
“The second set was very tricky, up and down,” said Auger-Aliassime. “I started serving less good and kept him in the match, but in the end I was glad I was able to come back and win in two sets. Not every match is going to be a straight road forward, so to pull it through in straight sets is a great thing."Kovacevic upset top seed Andrey Rublev of Russia 7-5, 6-4 in the other semifinal to reach his first ATP title match.
