Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime kept his winning streak alive with a razor-thin 6-7 (6), 6-4, 7-6 (6) win over Sweden's Mikael Ymer in second-round action Wednesday at the Paris Masters tennis tournament.
Auger-Aliassime won on his second match point opportunity to end a marathon match that took three and a half hours to complete.
With the eight-seeded Canadian serving for the match, Ymer hit a forehand long as Auger-Aliassime continued his march toward the season-ending ATP Finals with his 14th straight win.
Auger-Aliassime set up his second match point when Ymer hit a shot into the net on the following point. Ymer, who advanced to the main draw through qualifying, did not make it easy for the in-form Auger-Aliassime.
