Felix Auger-Aliassime’s Nitto ATP Finals hopes suffered a setback on Friday at the Swiss Indoors Basel, where he was forced to retire against Jaume Munar after losing the first set.

The Canadian was trailing 3-6 when he walked to the net and ended proceedings after 45 minutes at the ATP 500. Auger-Aliassime appeared to tweak his lower back during the first set and spent time stretching it out throughout the quarter-final.

Auger-Aliassime lifted the trophy in Brussels last week to move to ninth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin. The 25-year-old, who married Nina Ghaibi last month, is 340 points behind eighth-placed Lorenzo Musetti, who occupies the final qualification spot. Musetti is in quarter-final action against Cornetin Moutet in Vienna later on Friday.

Auger-Aliassime is hoping to make his second appearance at the prestigious year-end event, having competed in 2022. He holds a 43-21 record on the year, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index and is scheduled to compete at the Rolex Paris Masters next week.
