Auger-Aliassime Advances to US Open Semifinals After Epic Battle<\/h2>\n\nIn an exciting day at the US Open, F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime defeated Alex de Minaur in a four-hour and ten-minute match, with scores of 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4). This victory secures the Canadian tennis player his second Grand Slam semi-final, both at Flushing Meadows.\n\nAuger-Aliassime, seeded number 25, had already reached this stage in New York in 2021, at just 21 years old. The player commented on his career: “Four years ago. It feels like longer. It was a couple of difficult years.”\n\nAuger-Aliassime’s performance in this tournament has been remarkable, eliminating several players from the ATP top 20, including Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev, marking a milestone in his Grand Slam career.\n\nIn the semi-final, the Canadian will face Jannik Sinner, number one in the world. In the other semi-final, Carlos Alcaraz will face Novak Djokovic. Auger-Aliassime expressed his determination: “It’s not over. There’s still tennis to play, and the biggest challenges are yet to come. That’s what I live and train for.”\n\nThe match was characterized by Auger-Aliassime’s great serve, who connected 22 aces and added 51 winners, surpassing de Minaur’s 29.\n\n\n

Right now I see this as a missed opportunity. It’s tough.<\/p>Alex de Minaur<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe match was close to changing its course when de Minaur was leading 6-5 in the second set tiebreak. However, Auger-Aliassime saved a set point with a 120 mph ace, which allowed him to tie the match.\n\n\n

There were a lot of nerves today, throughout the match. It wasn’t pretty at all times. I was willing to push myself to the limit and do everything possible to be here, right now.<\/p>F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAuger-Aliassime has demonstrated his prowess in tiebreaks, with a 6-0 record at this year’s US Open, tying the record for most tiebreak wins en route to the semifinals since they were introduced in 1970.\n\nDe Minaur, for his part, has a 0-5 record in Grand Slam quarter-finals, with an unfavorable record in this stage of the tournament.\n\n\n

I feel like this was on my racket, and it’s a shame. I don’t know how I’ll handle it. Definitely, right now, I’m seeing red, but yes, I’ll get over it. It’s just tennis, right?<\/p>Alex de Minaur<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
