IT'S FELIX'S TIME. 🙌⁣
⁣
Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime upset No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev 4-6, 7-6(7), 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the fourth round of the U.S. Open. 👏⁣
⁣
The Montreal native notched his first-ever victory over a top-5 player at a Grand Slam. He also becomes the third Canadian man to defeat an ATP Top-3 player at a major. 🇨🇦💪⁣
⁣
“This feels good. This feels good,” Auger-Aliassime said. “I’ve been coming here since 2018. I’m still young, but it’s been a few years, and I’m working my way. Some of you, it might be the first time you’re watching me tonight. But this feels really good." 🥺⁣
⁣
“Obviously, the job’s not done. The tournament’s still going, but this means a lot to me –  a lot of hard work over many years.” ☺️⁣
⁣
Auger-Aliassime’s best Grand Slam performance was reaching the semifinals of the US Open in 2021. Before this year’s tournament, the furthest he had gone in his previous 11 Grand Slam appearances was the fourth round, which he also reached at the 2022 Australian Open. 🎾⁣
⁣
Now, he’s aiming to go even further as he prepares to face No. 15 seed Andrey Rublev of Russia in the fourth round on Monday. 😤⁣
⁣
Will Felix take the win on Monday? 🇨🇦 #thegist⁣
