Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to move on to the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Cerundolo, however, trimmed the deficit thanks to an error from the Canadian after a forehand winner provided him the advantage out of a deuce.But that failed to work in favour of the Argentine, as Auger-Aliassime cruised through the final game, taking match point with an ace. Dabrowski and Olmos fired three aces to just one double fault and won 73 per cent of first-serve points. They also broke on 5-of-9 opportunities.Meanwhile, fellow Canadian Leylah Fernandez and Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the U.S. fell 7-6 , 4-6, 3-6 to Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia and China’s Zhang Shuai in their first-round match.
