ADELAIDE, Australia — Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime snapped a three-match losing streak with an 6-3, 7-6, 7-0 win over Australian James Duckworth in the second round of the Adelaide International on Wednesday.
The second-seeded Auger-Aliassime, from Montreal, received a first-round bye at the ATP Tour 250 event before downing the 96th-ranked Duckworth.
Auger-Aliassime, ranked 22nd in the world, advances to the quarterfinals to face the winner of a match between No. 7 seed Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany and Alex Bolt of Australia.
The 19-year-old Auger-Aliassime lost his last three matches at the ATP Cup team event after opening the 2020 season with a win over world No. 487 Michail Pervolarakis of Greece.
Auger-Aliassime is the top-ranked player in the Adelaide event, which serves as a tuneup for next week’s Australian Open. Top seed Alex de Minaur of Australia was a late withdrawal.
Auger-Aliassime is gearing up for his main-draw debut at the Australian Open, the season’s first Grand Slam. The event starts Monday.
