SINNER 5-5 AUGER-ALIASSIME
Felix leaves himself with plenty to do as back-to-back unforced errors pique Sinner’s interest at 0-30.
The Canadian reduces the arrears with a scorching first serve down the T and is then relieved to see Jannik snatch a return into the net off a second delivery.
A one-two punch puts the eighth seed in charge, but he blinks again to allow the Italian to turn the screw at deuce.
FAA chucks in yet another unforced error in a poor game from his point of view, but Sinner bullets a very make-able return into the net on set point.
The Italian sees his hopes fade with a backhand that clips the tape and flies off the island and Felix finally lands the big first serve to complete the escape.
