Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime has been bounced from the Cincinnati Open.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy beat Auger-Aliassime 6-0, 6-2 on Thursday in the men’s singles quarterfinals.
Sinner will be playing in Saturday’s semi-final but his opponent is not yet determined.
Auger-Aliassime was the last Canadian in the event’s singles brackets.
Earlier on Thursday, Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Erin Routliffe of New Zealand advanced to the women’s doubles semi-final by beating Caty McNally of the United States and Linda Noskova of Czechia 6-2, 7-6 (3).
Dabrowski and Routliffe will face Australia’s Ellen Perez and Ukraine’s Lyudmyla Kichenok in Friday’s semi.
Routliffe holds dual Canadian-New Zealand citizenship and had previously represented Canada in tennis.
Dabrowski and Routliffe had six aces to McNally and Noskova’s one, and only three double faults to their opponents’ seven.
