Miami Open 2023: As Francisco Cerundolo Seeks Revenge, Felix Auger-Aliassime Loses in the Third Round

Posted : 11 April 2023
By shocking Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round of the Miami Open, Francisco Cerundolo exacted revenge for recent losses to the Canadian at the Australian Open and Indian Wells.

Cerundolo earned his 6-2, 7-5 victory to advance to the round of 16, where he will take on either Frances Tiafoe or Lorenzo Sonego. Cerundolo made it to the Miami semifinals the previous year.

With a 6-2, 7-5 loss to Francisco Cerundolo in the third round of the Miami Open, fifth seed Felix Auger-excellent Aliassime's run of ATP 1000 form came to an end.
After defeating Cerundolo in Indian Wells and the Australian Open earlier this year, Auger-Aliassime was the favorite to advance to the round of 16. He has reached at least the quarterfinals in his prior six ATP 1000 matches.

Both players earned two breaks in a closer second set as it remained tied until 5-5. However, Cerundolo managed to pull away once again and put himself in a position to serve for the match, collecting his third match point in a suspenseful ending.

World No. 79 In his first-ever main draw play at Miami, Quentin Halys of France defeated Mackenzie McDonald 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 to continue his outstanding run.

Cerundolo will play either Lorenzo Sonego or Frances Tiafoe in the round of 16, hoping to duplicate his incredible run to the semifinals from a year ago and win just his second career title (the first came in Bastad).
“I’m very happy to be back again in the round of 16 here, in a Masters 1000, here in Miami,” said Cerundolo.
“I’m super happy that I’m playing as well as last year, super happy with my level, and [hope] to keep going.”

In his first game, Auger-Aliassime broke, and the rest of the game was a struggle. When the Canadian sent a forehand into the net, Cerundolo grabbed the double break to go 4-1 up and held her composure to win the first set.
