Felix Auger-Aliassime has pulled out of the upcoming Davis Cup match for Canada citing exhaustion, as confirmed by Tennis Canada on Saturday. The event, part of the World Group I, is scheduled for September 12-13 in Halifax.
Hailing from Montreal, Auger-Aliassime recently had an impressive performance at the U.S. Open, reaching the semifinals on Friday as the 25th seed. In a closely contested match, he was defeated by world No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy in four sets.
This marks Auger-Aliassime’s second semifinal appearance at a Grand Slam event, with his previous achievement dating back to the U.S. Open in 2021. Throughout his journey at this year’s U.S. Open, the 25-year-old clinched victories over notable players including third-seeded Alexander Zverev, No. 15 seed Andrey Rublev, and eighth-seeded Alex de Minaur before facing Sinner in the semifinals.
