Montreal’s rising tennis star Felix Auger-Aliassime faced a tough defeat against American Frances Tiafoe in the fourth round of the Cincinnati Open. Despite delivering 13 aces, the second-seeded Canadian struggled with 37 unforced errors, while Tiafoe, seeded 17th, committed only 16 errors and clinched the win in a match lasting one hour and 40 minutes.
In doubles action, Canada’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Barbora Krejcikova of Czechia suffered a close loss to Czech pair Linda Noskova and Marie Bouzkova in a three-set match. Dabrowski, typically partnered with Luisa Stefani, played alongside Krejcikova due to Stefani’s ongoing elbow injury.
