In a nail-biting, four-hour marathon match 🌟, Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime clawed his way to victory against Australia's Alex de Minaur, booking his spot in the US Open semi-finals for the second time! The 25-year-old tennis star rallied after dropping the first set, winning 4-6, 7-6 (9/7), 7-5, 7-6 (7/4) in a showdown packed with jaw-dropping saves and clutch serves.
"Some days you won't feel your best, but I was willing to dig really deep," Auger-Aliassime said post-match, sweat still dripping like a Netflix drama cliffhanger 💦. This marks his first Grand Slam semi-final since 2021, proving patience (and a killer backhand) pays off.
