Félix Auger-Aliassime's grass-court campaign at Halle ended in the quarter-final on June 19, when he fell to American Frances Tiafoe 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(4). The Canadian, seeded No. 4, lost the opening set before taking the second, but could not hold off Tiafoe in a tight third-set tiebreak.
How the match unfolded
Tiafoe broke through in the first set, securing a 6-3 lead before Auger-Aliassime levelled the match by taking the second set 6-3. The third set went to a tiebreak, where Tiafoe prevailed 7-6(4) to advance.
What comes next
Tiafoe advanced to the semi-final, where he faced Alexander Zverev on June 20. Auger-Aliassime's early exit from the grass-court season leaves him with limited preparation time before Wimbledon, the year's third Grand Slam, which traditionally follows Halle by one week.
