Quebecer Félix Auger-Aliassime is heading straight for the quarter-finals of the tournament in Indian Wells, California, by winning the match against American Tommy Paul in three sets with 3: 6, 6: 3 and 7: 6 (6) very well wins late Tuesday.
“FAA” (8th in the world) logically triumphed after a thrilling match that lasted 2h 46min 16s, although he stumbled from the start in front of the 17th world racquet who thus exited the tournament at this stage of the competition.
In the next round, the Quebecer must cross swords with a big figure, in this case Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, who qualified at the expense of Britain’s Jack Draper, who was forced off through injury after 46 minutes of play and a score-innings of 6- 1 and 2-0.
