Auger-Aliassime

Canadians seem to be taking a liking to grass courts.

Felix Auger-Aliassime rolled into the semifinals at the Boss Open in Germany on Friday, hours before Gabriel Diallo did the same at the Libema Open in the Netherlands.

Auger-Aliassime beat Germany’s Justin Engel 7-6 (3), 6-3, firing 18 aces to Engel’s seven while double-faulting just twice en route to victory. He also converted two of six break-point opportunities while being broken once.

The 24-year-old Montreal native will next face No.
