Auger-Aliassime's 6-match win streak halted by Tsitsipas in 2nd round of Paris Masters

Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime had his six-match winning streak ended Wednesday with a 6-3, 7-6 (4) loss to seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in second-round action at the Paris Masters tennis tournament.

Auger-Aliassime had nine aces in the match but failed to make the most of his opportunities to break Tsitsipas's serve.

Tsitispas saved six of the seven break points he faced, including a crucial hold in the ninth game of the first set, while breaking Auger-Aliassime's serve twice on four chances.

Tsitsipas improved his record over Auger-Aliassime to 6-3 and avenged his loss to the Canadian in the final of last year's Rotterdam Open.
