Canada's Auger-Aliassime falls to Norway's Ruud in National Bank Open quarter-final

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime is out of the National Bank Open after dropping a 6-1, 6-2 decision to Norway's Casper Ruud in quarter-final play Friday at IGA Stadium.

The Montrealer was the last remaining Canadian in the ATP Tour event.

The fourth-seeded Ruud will next play No. 8 Hubert Hurkacz of Poland, a 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 6-1 winner over Nick Kyrgios.

Unseeded players were scheduled to play in the evening quarter-finals. American Tommy Paul was to face Britain's Daniel Evans and Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta was to meet British qualifier Jack Draper.

Auger-Aliassime couldn't get on track despite vocal support from the near-capacity crowd. He was shanking more shots than usual and unforced errors seemed to come at the worst times.
