MELBOURNE : Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime could see the funny side of a supposed Netflix curse that is plaguing competitors at the Australian Open after several players who featured in the docu-series 'Break Point' suffered early eliminations.
Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to move on to the fourth round of the Australian Open.
MELBOURNE : Order of play on the main showcourts on the fifth day of the Australian Open on Friday (prefix number denotes seeding):
Borna Coric of Croatia rallied to eliminate second-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (4) in the second round of the Erste Bank Open on Thursday in Vienna, Austria.
American eighth seed Tommy Paul shook off a close first-set loss and beat Swedish wild card Leo Borg 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 in first-round action Tuesday at the Stockholm Open.
The Russian world number nine became bad tempered during the win, frustrated by some of his own inaccurate shots as he struggled to see off his Belarusian opponent and good friend in the second set. Rublev roared in anger and then twice smashed his racquet into his own knee after making two mistakes which allowed Ivashka to hold his serve to move 4-5 ahead, before forcing a third set.
Dominic Thiem was made to sweat for a place in the Gijon Open quarter-finals on Wednesday as the Austrian recovered from dropping the opening set to beat Marcos Giron 3-6 6-4 6-0. The American took the opening set after a slow start from Thiem, but the 29-year-old turned things around in the second before running away with it in the decider. Ad Thiem will face either Francisco Cerundolo or Manuel Guinard next.
Canada clinched their place in the Davis Cup quarterfinals on Saturday thanks to Felix Auger-Aliassime's win in singles, while Croatia improved their chances of reaching the last eight with a 3-0 sweep of Argentina. Auger-Aliassime backed up his defeat of new world number one Carlos Alcaraz with a 6-3, 6-4 victory against Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic, although Serbia won the tie 2-1 in Valencia to keep their own hopes alive. Serbia's Laslo Djere downed Gabriel Diallo 6-2, 6-2 in the opening singles match before Auger-Aliassime's win guaranteed Canada a top-two finish in Group B. "I feel this whole event my level has been really good," said Auger-Aliassime, the world number 13. "I'm really happy where my game is at. To come out and play this way, get the win, it's very good for me personally. I'm just really happy for the team. I'm really happy that I came and played with the level I did to get Canada through the quarters," he added.
