Auger-Aliassime Wins the All-Canadian Match
The 20-year old Canadian is coming off a 6-2, 6-3 win over fellow countryman, Denis Shapovalov. With this win, Auger-Aliassime leads their head-to-head record 3-2, which includes going 2-0 against him on clay. This win also marks the second clay court win under Toni Nadal, bringing that record to 2-1.

The younger Canadian took full advantage of the fact that Shapovalov’s serve did not show up. Arguably one of the strengths of Shapovalov’s game, and he only recorded a 48 first serve percentage, while recording six double faults. Auger-Aliassime ended up landing 67 percent of his first serves, and translating that into a 78 win percentage when he got that first serve in.
Shapovalov had to be visited by a trainer during the match as his shoulder seemed to be bothering him, which most likely resulted in his lack of serve success.
Auger-Aliassime will now look to take on second seed, Tsitsipas, who he’s also seen quite a few times.
Tsitsipas’ Smooth Sailing
The 22-year old player has barely been tested this tournament. The two matches he’s played have been straight set victories. He’s only lost 10 games all tournament, and hasn’t lost a set since his quarterfinal match at the Miami Masters tournament on April 1st.
Undefeated on clay in 2021, Tsitsipas’ confidence is riding high as he’s coming off his first ATP Masters 1000 title at the Monte-Carlo Masters last week.

In a 7-5, 6-3 win against Alex De Minaur, Tsitsipas recorded five aces with only one double fault, while landing 70 perfect of his first serves. He was able to record a 73 win percent when landing those first serves.
Like most matches this past month, Tsitsipas set the tone early once again, and didn’t allow for his opponent to gain any momentum to attempt a comeback.
The current World No. 5 will look to continue his success when he takes on Auger-Aliassime, who he holds a winning record against.
Head-to-Head & Best Bet
These two are no stranger to each other over recent years. Since their first matchup back in 2019, they’ve played each other five times. Auger-Aliassime captured the win in their first two matches, but Tsitsipas has won the last three, including a match earlier this year.
Their most recent match was in Acapulco during the quarterfinals where Tsitsipas won 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.

Tsitipas will be Auger-Aliassime’s toughest opponent on clay this year, no question. The Greek star definitely has more experience heading into this match, and has obviously found more success on the court surface this year, having already won a title. But even over the past few years, he’s been able to record strong numbers on clay, which includes a 7-0 record in 2021.
This will also be Tsitsipas’ seventh quarterfinal appearance in as many events just this year. And if he were to win this match, he’ll make his fifth semifinal appearance of the year.
And it’s only April.
He’s playing some of his best tennis, and it’s hard to think of going against him right now.
