Felix Auger-Aliassime has pulled out of the upcoming Davis Cup match for Canada citing fatigue, as confirmed by Tennis Canada on Saturday. The Davis Cup event, part of the World Group I, is scheduled for September 12-13 in Halifax.
Having recently delivered a commendable performance at the U.S. Open, the Montreal native reached the semifinals on Friday as the 25th seed. Auger-Aliassime was eliminated by world No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy in four sets.
This marked Auger-Aliassime’s second appearance in a Grand Slam semifinal, with his previous one dating back to the 2021 U.S. Open. The 25-year-old triumphed over third-seeded Alexander Zverev, No. 15 seed Andrey Rublev, and eighth-seeded Alex de Minaur before facing Sinner in the semifinals.
