Having lifted titles in Florence, Antwerp and Basel during his unbeaten run, Auger-Aliassime will next take on World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz or Holger Rune at the at the ATP Masters 1000 event in France as he chases his fourth ATP Tour crown in as many weeks.
It will be the second Masters 1000 semi-final of Auger-Aliassime’s career, following his run to the last four in Miami in 2019. The 22-year-old’s late-season exploits have already earned him a spot at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held in Turin from 13-20 November, for the first time.
