Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime faced defeat against American Frances Tiafoe with a 6-3, 6-4 score in the fourth round of the Cincinnati Open on Wednesday evening. Despite serving 13 aces, the second-seeded Canadian struggled with 37 unforced errors, while Tiafoe, seeded 17th, committed only 16 errors and secured the win in one hour and 40 minutes.
In the third-round doubles match, Canada’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Czech player Barbora Krejcikova lost to the Czech pair of Linda Noskova and Marie Bouzkova with a score of 6-3, 1-6, 10-7. Dabrowski, hailing from Ottawa, typically partners with Luisa Stefani, but due to Stefani’s ongoing elbow injury, Dabrowski teamed up with Krejcikova for this tournament.
