Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime is off to the U.S. Open semifinals for the second time after a wild fourth-set comeback on Wednesday.
The Montreal native rallied from 2-5 down in the fourth set to defeat Australian Alex de Minaur 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4). The run matches Auger-Aliassime's deepest Grand Slam result, equalling his 2021 semifinal at Flushing Meadows.
"Four years ago. It feels like more," said Auger-Aliassime, who advanced back then when Carlos Alcaraz stopped playing in the quarterfinals with an injured leg muscle. "It was a tough couple of years."
Auger-Aliassime, the 25th seed, will face the winner of Wednesday's other quarterfinal between top-ranked Jannik Sinner and 10th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti, both of Italy. No. 2 Alcaraz faces No. 7 Novak Djokovic in the other semif
