New York – Felix Auger-Aliassime’s incredible run at the U.S. Open ended in the semifinals Friday night, but the Canadians have ever fought a battle with a fight – backing the world No. 1 in front of the raucous crowd from the outset.
After throwing the opening 6-1 to Jannik Sinner, Auger-Aliassime turned the table and used his thriving effort to pull the second set 6-3 at 6-3 before the Italian returned from the medical timeout and returned to control for the final two sets and game.
Auger-Aliassime, 25, from Montreal, had his best career performance in the Grand Slam four years after he made his first semifinal here.
Defending champion Sinner lost only one set in his bid to re-enter the semifinals, while Auger-Aliassime gave him the best test in the 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 decisions at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Italian will face Spain’s second-placed Spanish Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s final, his fifth professional grand slam.
The Sinners dominate at the beginning of this semifinal and it looks like they may have ended. He didn’t give up a point in the opening game, ending with a 121 mph ace. Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime opened his first service game with a double breakdown, and although he saved two breakpoints and registered his first game, Sinner went on to win an early break.
It is precisely this that the beginning of the Russian diamond, not that it cannot afford the burden of sinners. Canada’s serve was his biggest weapon, and he couldn’t hold it in either the opening game or in that opening scene.
The crowd fell behind Auger-Aliassime throughout the game, cheering for the losers in a match with the 27th place in the world against the No. 1 in the world, hoping someone would challenge the sinner. When Auger-Aliassime won his first point, they would win his first point when he fired, when he surfaced, even when his first ace shot, when he moved without even ease, he couldn’t reach. When Auger-Aliassime won the long rally, they stood and roared, and the Canadians smiled all of this.
When Alliassime twitched his fist and shouted “Yes!” After winning a breakout point in the second set, the group stood up and cheered with him. When the sinner is ready to serve, the referee has to ask them to “please” quiet. New York wanted a show, and Canadians made sure they got a show.
auger-aliassime didn’t win many points in a long rally with the sinners – few models with consistency in the game – but Canada’s volley was doing well when he was able to achieve it. So did his first serve when he could find it.
In the second set, Aliassime’s had an incredible hit percentage, and when he won his second service game four straight games, he raised his fist and returned to the court seat.
He had momentum in this game after the second set, but it was short. The Sinner returned from the medical timeout and started the third set, and although he seemed to struggle early in power and serve, the 24-year-old returned to form and took control of the lead after a break, even if his first serve was less than 50%.
Auger-Aliassime got a breakout point early in the fourth group, but Sinner got out of trouble again. When Auger-Aliassime got another breakpoint, he looked at the crowd and shouted “Come on!” they responded. The referee again had to say, “Thank you”, so they were quiet enough to resume the game, not the last time.
When Auger-Aliassime shot a cross country championship in the run, his fourth game (his fifth game) won his third breakpoint – the crowd lost the game again. But he couldn’t take advantage of these opportunities. Meanwhile, Sinner took advantage of the fourth inning to lead 3-2 at the next breakout point.
Friday night’s semifinal was full of electric atmosphere. DJ Trizz’s music pumps loudly, and before the game begins, both players walk through the smoke machine and enter the court. Stars like Julianne Moore, Jon Hamm, Jon Bon Jovi, Kaley Cucuo, Hugh Jackman and Adam Driver all competed in the match.
This is the last game of the week’s Diamond – Aliassime, who ran and didn’t go out quietly despite not cracking his first Grand Slam final.
Russian Diamond – Aliassem will improve 14 positions in the world rankings to 13, now 13Th In the interim rankings, Alexander Zverev, who ranked third in the world, Alex de Minaur, who ranked eighth in the world, and Andrey Rublev, who ranked 15th in the world, entered his second Grand Slam semi-finals on the way. This is the best Canadian men perform at the U.S. Open.
The finale of the Auger-Alliasime here lasted three hours and 21 minutes, and New York fans gave enthusiastic applause from both players at the end.
