    ATP Finals: Auger-Aliassime Keeps SF Hopes Alive With Shelton Comeback

    Lexus ATP Head2Head: Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada came up with a powerful performance and mental fortitude for a thrilling comeback win over Ben Shelton in the ATP Finals on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Auger-Aliassime came within two points of defeat in a tense second-set tie-break, but rallied with grit to seal a 4-6, 7-6(7), 7-5 victory after two hours, 25 minutes in Turin.

    Although Shelton’s relentless serve-and-volley pressure posed constant challenges, Auger-Aliassime stayed composed to notch his Tour-leading 20th deciding-set win of the season. “He was playing much better than me at the start,” Auger-Aliassime was quoted as saying by the ATP Tour in a report. “It’s not often that I get broken twice in the first set indoors… It was a weird start, but as the match went on, I was finding ways to put returns in the court. Once we engaged in the rallies, I felt like I could win more. You just have to fight, believe, and play the next point the right way.”

    With the victory, Auger-Aliassime keeps alive his hopes of reaching the semifinals at the prestigious season finale for the first time. Having fallen to defending champion Jannik Sinner in his opener, he now sits at 1-1 in the Bjorn Borg Group and will face third seed Alexander Zverev in his final round-robin match on Friday.
