Canadian Tennis Prodigy Felix Auger-Aliassime Triumphs in U.S. Open Quarter-Finals

Canadian tennis sensation Felix Auger-Aliassime overcame Australian eighth seed Alex de Minaur in a thrilling U.S. Open quarter-final on Wednesday. Auger-Aliassime, seeded 25th, battled through injuries and confidence dips since his 2019 semi-final appearance, delivering a captivating performance at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Despite losing the first set, Auger-Aliassime clawed back to break De Minaur's momentum in subsequent sets. De Minaur, making his sixth Grand Slam quarter-final appearance, couldn't convert his advances into a semi-final spot, succumbing to the Canadian's 22 aces and strategic comeback.

Auger-Aliassime's resilience was evident as he rebounded from various deficits, ultimately dominating the final tiebreak. His victory marks a significant milestone, highlighting his intensified mental and technical game, promising an exciting semi-final against either defending champion Jannik Sinner or Lorenzo Musetti.
