Auger-Aliassime beats Tsitsipas 6-3 7-5 in Cincinnati

Felix Auger-Aliassime came through in straight sets against Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6-3 7-5, in the Cincinnati round of 64. The Canadian's serve carried him: he landed 60.3% of first deliveries and won 74.3% of those points, striking seven aces despite five double faults. Tsitsipas found the court more often, 64.2% first serves in, but won only 61.8% behind them, and his second delivery collapsed at 31.6% of points won, leaving him exposed through both sets. That vulnerability told in the tighter second, where Auger-Aliassime edged clear from 5-5 to close out a significant hard-court win.
