Felix Books Schwartzman Clash In Cologne

Spoiler:

Canadian reaches fourth indoor semi-final of 2020

Felix Auger-Aliassime improved his strong 2020 indoor record on Friday, as he beat Yoshihito Nishioka 6-3, 6-4 to reach the bett1HULKS Championship semi-finals.

The #NextGenATP Canadian landed 11 aces en route to a Tour-leading 14th victory on indoor hard courts this year after one hour and 32 minutes. Auger-Aliassime is through to his fourth semi-final from five events this year on the surface.

After trading breaks in the opening four games, Auger-Aliassime attacked with his forehand and proved the more consistent player from baseline to win five straight games from 3-3 and take control of the match. The 6’4” right-hander served with confidence in the second set as he dropped just three points behind his first serve (15/18) to claim his first victory in three ATP Head2Head encounters against the Japanese.

”The start was difficult for both of us, just to find a rhythm,” said Auger-Aliassime in an on-court interview. “I felt from the middle of the first set that things were starting to be better and better.

“I feel like since the last time I played him at Roland Garros, I have adjusted a few things well. It is actually the first time I have beaten him, so I think it is a good win for me… To be able to find solutions against a player that I have had difficulty beating in the past is really gratifying.”

The 20-year-old is attempting to reach his second final in as many weeks in Cologne. During last week’s bett1HULKS Indoors, which was played at the same venue, Auger-Aliassime reached his sixth ATP Tour championship match (l. to Zverev).

”I have always loved coming to Germany since I was a kid. I have always played well here. I made the final in Stuttgart last year,” said Auger-Aliassime. “I always get along well with everybody and I am always welcomed. It is a pleasure to be playing another match here and hopefully I will be able to play all the matches, a full two weeks in Cologne.”

Auger-Aliassime will face second seed Diego Schwartzman for the first time with a place in the championship match on the line. The Argentine saved match point and recovered from 2-6, 2-5 down to defeat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 2-6, 7-6(3), 6-1 in the quarter-finals.

Auger-Aliassime survived his own scare in his opening match of the tournament. His first-round opponent Egor Gerasimov served for the match at 6-5 in the second set before the World No. 22 recovered to earn a final-set tie-break victory.

“[Diego is] a player that moves well around the court… He is going to make me work for it,” said Auger-Aliassime. “He is going to make me finish every point, so it is going to be interesting but I believe in my chances.”

When Will Felix's First Title Come? 'When I Deserve It'

Spoiler:

Canadian is the second seed in Sofia
Felix Auger-Aliassime won his first ATP Tour title last week. But it’s safe to say nobody expected the manner in which it came.

The Canadian captured the Rolex Paris Masters doubles title alongside Hubert Hurkacz. Even though Felix is still chasing his first tour-level singles trophy, he is full of confidence from the triumph.

“It’s a good thing. I’m happy that I won a title regardless of whether it was in singles or doubles,” Auger-Aliassime said. “Obviously I’m still looking for that first singles title, but it will come when it has to come, when I deserve it.”

Auger-Aliassime has made six ATP Tour singles finals, losing them all without winning a set. This year, he has reached three championship matches. Will he be able to break through at this week’s Sofia Open in Bulgaria?

“I don’t have a crystal ball. Every week is a chance for me. You play a tournament, you try to win. I’ve lost some first rounds this year, I’ve made some finals. It’s been up and down at times and yet I try my best ever week to go all the way,” Auger-Aliassime said. “I will do the same here this week, but who knows what will happen. I will try to get through this first round and give myself the best chances [to win].”

Auger-Aliassime will open his tournament against Italian Salvatore Caruso and the only seeded player remaining on his half of the draw is recent first-time titlist John Millman, who triumphed in Nur-Sultan. It is the third time he has been seeded second at an ATP Tour event (2019 Chengdu and 2020 Adelaide).

“Of course being the second seed here, [having] already reached three finals this year, it’s obvious that I want to give myself a chance for the title again. I want to give myself a shot to win. But I will have to start by winning the match tomorrow,” Auger-Aliassime said. “It’s the end of the year, there’s one more tournament. I’m going to try to give everything I can. Physically I’m still good, I’m healthy, and I’m confident in my game that I can play well and do good things this week.”

This year has been a different one both on and off the court, especially because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Canadian has taken things in stride to try to learn from every moment. Auger-Aliassime will try to finish his year on a high in Sofia.

“In the end I just want to raise my level to one day be the best player I can be.”
