Auger-Aliassime fires 11 aces in quarterfinal comeback victory in Spain

Felix Auger-Aliassime rallied for a 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over Serbia’s Hamad Medjedovic in Thursday’s quarterfinals at the Mallorca Championships in Santa Ponsa, Spain.

The Montreal native fired 11 aces and broke Medjedovic three times on six chances.

Auger-Aliassime will face Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands in Friday’s semifinal at the grass-court event.

Griekspoor beat Montreal’s Gabriel Diallo 6-4, 6-4 earlier Thursday.

Diallo had eight aces but couldn’t convert his lone break-point opportunity.

The six-foot-eight Diallo, who entered the tournament with a career-high No. 41 ranking, is due to make his main-draw debut at Wimbledon next week.
