    Aus Open: Auger-Aliassime Retires Mid-way, De Minaur Wins; Pegula Prevails

    By IANS News January 19, 2026 • 16:33 PM View: 179

    Seventh seed Felix Auger-Aliassime was forced to retire with cramp during his first-round match at the Australian Open on Monday, handing Portugal’s Nuno Borges a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 lead and a victory.

    The 25-year-old Canadian, who reached the US Open semifinals last year, was hoping to carry that momentum into the 2026 season. However, discomfort in his upper left leg slowed him down, prompting a medical timeout late in the third set and further treatment before the fourth. After just two points in the fourth set, Auger-Aliassime was unable to continue.
