Top-seeded Canadian F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime was upset 6-4, 6-3 by Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak on Friday in quarterfinal action at the Libema Open.<\/p>\n
Majchrzak did not face a break point in the match, while breaking Auger-Aliassime twice in three chances.<\/p>\n
Auger-Aliassime entered the event with a career-high world ranking of No. 4, 72 places ahead of Majchrzak.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old Montreal native did enough at the ATP 250 grass-court event to keep that ranking with his second-round win over Marton Fucsovics on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The match was the first at the ATP Tour level between the players. Auger-Aliassime beat Majchrzak twice at the Challenger level, including in the final of a 2018 event in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Auger-Aliassime and fellow Canadian Denis Shapovalov pulled out of the men’s doubles tournament, resulting in a walkover to the semifinals for Dutch tandem Tallon Griekspoor and Botic van de Zandschulp.<\/p>\n
Griekspoor and van de Zandschulp lost their semifinal 6-3, 7-6 (9) to the fellow Dutchmen David Pel and Sander Arends, who were playing their second match of the day after defeating Montreal’s Gabriel Diallo and Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 (5), 4-6, 10-7 in the quarterfinals.\u2028<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Top-seeded Canadian F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime was upset 6-4, 6-3 by Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak on Friday in quarterfinal action at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":704740,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-732546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/704740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
