Auger-Aliassime, who edged Andrey Rublev in three sets to reach the championship match, was relentless from the start against the Greek in a dominant performance. Auger-Aliassime, 21, fired his aggressive groundstrokes through the court and targeted the World No.4’s backhand from the baseline to great effect to earn the biggest win of his career. 


“It has not been the smoothest road since my first final three years ago,” Auger-Aliassime said. “It is an amazing day for me to get my first title and especially here. I played my first ATP main draw here a couple of years ago, so it is right I won my first title here.”
