Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime exited the U.S. Open on Wednesday, losing his second-round match in four sets to Russia’s Karen Khachanov. Auger-Aliassime, the No. 3 seed, took the first set in a tiebreak but couldn’t maintain momentum, dropping the next three sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.

Khachanov, ranked 50th globally, capitalized on Auger-Aliassime’s struggles, breaking his serve seven times and saving seven break points to secure his second top-10 win at a Grand Slam. The Russian’s consistent play contrasted with Auger-Aliassime’s errors, leading to a decisive victory.

Khachanov dominated the match, clinching crucial points while Auger-Aliassime faltered. The Russian’s confident performance allowed him to advance to face either Benjamin Bonzi or Ignacio Buse in the next round.

Meanwhile, other notable players like Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff, and Alexander Zverev advanced in the tournament, with Zverev facing a tough battle in a five-set match that extended into the early hours of the morning. The competition at the U.S. Open continues to deliver thrilling matches and surprising outcomes as the event progresses.
