Felix Auger-Aliassime won his first ATP Tour title Sunday, easily defeating top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 6-4, 6-2 at the ABN Amro World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
For the 21-year-old Canadian, it was his ninth career final. And from the outset, the third-seeded Auger-Aliassime took command when he broke Tsitsipas’ serve in the first game of the 78-minute match.
Auger-Aliassime served with authority throughout the match: seven aces, no double faults and no break points. He won 93 percent (26 of 28) of points on his first serve.
The win continues a good start to 2022 for Auger-Aliassime, who helped Canada win the ATP Cup in January and reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, where he fell to world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev in five sets.
