Félix Auger-Aliassime has reached the quarterfinals of the French Open for the first time, completing his set of quarterfinal appearances at all four Grand Slam tournaments. The No. 4 seed from Canada defeated Alejandro Tabilo in straight sets on Monday at Roland-Garros, as reported by Bleacher Report.
How did Auger-Aliassime secure the victory?
The top-ranked Canadian won his fourth-round match 6-3, 7-5, 6-1. Auger-Aliassime delivered a dominant performance on his serve and was effective when approaching the net, winning 19 of 24 points in the forecourt, according to Bleacher Report.
What is the significance of this milestone?
Reaching the final eight at Roland-Garros means Auger-Aliassime has now advanced to at least the quarterfinal stage of every major tournament. This achievement marks a significant point in the 25-year-old's career, confirming his proficiency on all surfaces at the highest level of the sport.
What else happened on Day 9?
Matteo Arnaldi also reached his first career Grand Slam quarterfinal after a gruelling five-set victory over American Frances Tiafoe, 7-6(5), 6-7(5), 3-6, 7-6(3), 6-4. In other men's singles action, No. 10 seed Flavio Cobolli and Italy's Matteo Berrettini also advanced to the next round. The fourth-round losses by Tiafoe and Madison Keys mean no American players are in the men's or women's quarterfinals for the first time since 2017.
The men's quarterfinal matches are scheduled to begin Tuesday.
