Overview
- Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Adrian Mannarino 6-3, 7-6 (4) in 1 hour 35 minutes, firing 13 aces and not facing a break point in the final.
- He now owns nine ATP titles, eight on indoor courts, surpassing Milos Raonic for the most by a Canadian man in the Open Era, and he leads this decade in indoor wins with a reported 89.
- The top seed dropped serve only once all week and advanced through Stan Wawrinka, Arthur Fils and Titouan Droguet to reach the championship match.
- Rankings projections place him up to No. 6, and he enters next week’s Rotterdam tournament as the No. 2 seed with a first-round match against Alexei Popyrin.
- Withdrawals by Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Jack Draper have reshaped the Rotterdam field, leaving Auger-Aliassime among the top contenders alongside Alex de Minaur.
