The two men recently faced each other in the Davis Cup and that match ended in three sets. We expect this match to long one, as both Auger Aliassime and Alcaraz Garfia are approaching the match in excellent playing conditions.
Alcaraz defeated Pablo Carreno Busta (6-3, 6-4) in the quarterfinals, who was not ready for the aggressive tennis of his opponent.
Carlos, as usual, played strongly on the receiving end, as evidenced at least by the fact that he had 12 break points.
It was the same against Botic van de Zandschulp (6-4, 6-2), whom Carlos was also quick to punish for any mistakes.
The toughest match for Alcaraz so far was his first-round match against Jack Draper (3-6, 6-2, 7-5). Carlos needed the third set to beat Jack.
Carlos Alcaraz has won seven in a row as a favourite.
Auger Aliassime, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals at his third consecutive tournament. Earlier this month, he took the titles in Florence and Antwerp.
On Friday, Felix defeated Alexander Bublik (6-2, 6-3) in a convincing win.
Felix was the top-ranked player in the games on his serve without a single break point.
In the second round, Auger Aliassime crushed Miomir Kecmanovic (6-1, 6-0). Miomir lasted less than an hour on the court – just 51 minutes.
Auger Aliassime called it the best match of his life. “Not even in his career, but in general since his childhood,” Felix clarified.
Auger Aliassime’s winning streak now stands at 11 matches.
