Auger-Aliassime swats aside Tabilo to reach French Open quarters PARIS, June 1 : Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Chilean Alejandro Tabilo 6-3 7-5 6-1 at the French Open on Monday to become the first Canadian man to reach the quarter-finals at all four Grand Slam tournaments and stay on track for his maiden major title. • Canadian world number six Auger-Aliassime eased through the opening set before Toronto-born Tabilo stepped up his game. • The players went toe-to-toe until Tabilo dropped his serve in the 11th game, handing Auger-Aliassime the advantage. • A clean hold meant Auger-Aliassime had a two-set lead and the 25-year-old barely looked back from there. • After edging ahead in the third, the fourth seed finished the match in style. • Auger-Aliassime looked fresh despite being taken to five sets in his opener and playing two four-set matches. • He will take on Flavio Cobolli in the next round, after the 10th seed beat American Zachary Svajda.
