Madrid Open: Felix Auger-Aliassime To Face Rublev In Final After Lehecka Back Injury
Unseeded Canadian Felix Auger: Unseeded Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime will face Andrey Rublev in Sunday's men's final of the Madrid Open, after the world number 35 had a walkover against Jiri Lehecka, while Rublev defeated Taylor Fritz.
The evening match between Auger-Aliassime and Lehecka was level at three games each when the Czech complained of a back problem. He attempted to continue after treatment, but only lasted three more points, before falling to the ground in agony as he looked to return and he was almost in tears as he left the court, reported Xinhua.
"I couldn't believe that was happening, when he (Lehecka) put his hands to his back. I feel really bad for him," said Auger-Aliassime.
