Coming back to Arthur Ashe Stadium with another impressive run, Felix Auger-Aliassime is doing it all! Fresh off his win over third seed Alexander Zverev on Saturday, the Canadian stunned the 15th seed Andrey Rublev again earlier today. With his big serve and a semifinal showing at the 2021 US Open, this isn’t a surprise. But what keeps him focused under all this pressure?
On Monday at the US Open, the 25th seed finally broke through. He beat Rublev in straight sets to reach his first Grand Slam quarter-final in three years. Auger-Aliassime recovered from a break in the first set and then took control. He won 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. It was just his second win over the Russian in nine meetings.
In his on-court interview, he was asked about his pre-match ritual of meditation. Does it work? Looks
