Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the fourth round of the Madrid Open tennis tournament Monday in a walkover after Czech opponent Jakub Mensik retired.

Auger-Aliassime was up 6-1, 1-0 through a brisk 35 minutes when Mensik conceded after being broken on the first game of the second set.

The 23-year-old Canadian won 92 per cent of first-serve points and didn’t face break point before Mensik retired. He converted all three of his break point chances.
