PARIS — Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime continued his impressive season-ending run of form with a 7-6 (3), 6-4 first-round win over Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff on Tuesday at the Paris Masters tennis tournament.
Auger-Aliassime, ranked 19th on the ATP Tour, had 17 aces and saved all three break points he faced as he improved his 2023 record to 23-18.
Auger-Aliassime picked up the only break of the match to go up 2-1 in the second set, then capped the victory in just under one hour 39 minutes by winning a 19-shot rally on his second match-point chance. Auger-Aliassime, coming off a successful defence of his Swiss Indoors title last week, picked up another convincing win over a quality opponent. He defeated No. 6 Holger Rune in the semifinals and No. 11 Hubert Hurkacz in the final last week in Basel without dropping a set.
