Auger-Aliassime Dominates Rublev and Secures First Grand Slam Quarterfinal Since 2022

Félix Auger-Aliassime is enjoying a strong return to the spotlight during this US Open, securing his place in the quarterfinals by defeating Andrey Rublev (7-5, 6-3, 6-4).

Despite trailing 7-1 in their head-to-head record against the Russian, Auger-Aliassime delivered a flawless performance, firing 42 winners to 33 unforced errors and winning 83% of points behind his first serve. After a shaky start that saw him down a break early, the Canadian quickly found his rhythm, took control of the match, and ran away with the scoreboard.

This marks his first Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance since the 2022 Australian Open, where he was defeated by Daniil Medvedev. If he wins on Wednesday against Alex de Minaur, he would return to the US Open semifinals—a stage he last reached in 2021.
