Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the Cincinnati Open's third round with a 6-2, 7-6 (3) win over Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry on Saturday.

Auger-Aliassime, who received a bye to the second round, hit 14 aces and 30 winners in the one-hour, 57-minute match.

The 23rd seed from Montreal also saved all four breakpoint chances he faced while converting two of his four opportunities.

After Auger-Aliassime rolled to a first-set victory, Etcheverry forced a tiebreak in the second. The 25-year-old Canadian, however, jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Etcheverry struck a forehand long on match point.
