Félix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the fourth round of the French Open on Saturday, defeating No. 31 Brandon Nakashima 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(4), 7-6(1) in a match that lasted three hours 48 minutes and ended well after midnight at Roland-Garros. The No. 4 seed from Montreal is now seeking to advance past the fourth round at the clay-court Grand Slam for the first time in his career.
Who is Auger-Aliassime's next opponent?
Auger-Aliassime will face unseeded Alejandro Tabilo of Argentina in the fourth round. The Canadian's breakthrough run on clay continues as he navigates deeper into the tournament than he has managed at Roland-Garros previously.
What happened to Victoria Mboko?
The 19-year-old from Burlington, Ontario, was eliminated in the third round by No. 19 seed Madison Keys of the United States. Keys prevailed 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 in a match lasting two-and-a-half hours, with Mboko unable to convert a break-point opportunity that would have forced a tiebreak at 5-5 in the final set.
Mboko had trailed 4-2 in the third set before mounting a comeback to level at 5-5, but Keys broke her serve to seal the victory. Keys will advance to face No. 25 seed Diana Shnaider of Russia in the fourth round. Mboko has now reached the third round at Roland-Garros in consecutive years, matching her best result at the tournament.
