Auger-Aliassime wins second straight ATP title

ANTWERP, Belgium — Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Sebastian Korda of the United States 6-3, 6-4 to claim his second consecutive ATP Tour title win at the European Open on Sunday.

The Montreal native hit seven aces, five of which came in the opening set, and won 85 per cent of his first-serve points in the one hour, 25-minute match.

Auger-Aliassime, 22, saved two of Korda's four break point chances while converting on both of his own opportunities.

The Canadian, who is the world No. 10, entered the tournament following a title victory at the Firenze Open last Sunday.

He is now up to three ATP Tour titles for his career, having also won the Rotterdam Open in February.
