Felix Auger-Aliassime extends winning streak to 11 matches

BASEL: Felix Auger-Aliassime extended his winning streak to 11 matches on Friday when he moved past Alexander Bublik 6-2, 6-3 to reach the semi-finals at the Swiss Indoors, here.

In a dominant display, the Canadian fired 28 winners and committed just four unforced errors to advance after 73 minutes. Auger-Aliassime now leads the 25-year-old Bublik 2-1 in the pair's ATP head-to-head series and will next play top seed Carlos Alcaraz or fifth seed Pablo Carreno Busta.

With his 51st victory of the season, the 22-year-old has strengthened his ATP Finals qualification chances. Auger-Aliassime currently sits seventh in the ATP Live Race To Turin with 3,315 points as he holds onto what is currently the final qualifying position. He is 405 points clear of eighth-placed Taylor Fritz as he seeks to make his debut at the season finale in Turin. If the Canadian wins his fourth tour-level title of the season in Basel, he will move above Andrey Rublev and into sixth. IANS
