Auger-Aliassime saved three set points in the opening set before taking control in the second, breaking Quentin Halys’s serve at a crucial moment
Montreal’s Félix Auger-Aliassime will play for his third title of 2025 after downing French qualifier Quentin Halys 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in the semifinal at the Dubai Tennis Championships on Friday.
It was one of his four break-point conversions out of seven chances in the match as he powered through the deciding set, saving both break points faced.“I don’t know how I pulled it through today,” Auger-Aliassime said post-match. “I only played three-setters this week, we were both feeling a bit tired, I think. It was just having positive self talk, I think everyone can relate.
The victory marked his 16th win of 2025, the most on Tour. He entered the Dubai event coming off a semifinal loss to Russian Audrey Rublev at the Qatar Open.
