Ouger-Aliassime from Beating De Minaur to Make Us in the Last Four | US Open Tennis 2025

Félix Auger-Aliassime continues his sublime return at the U.S. Open, where he beat the eighth seed moment in a messy, disturbing four-hour ten-hour struggle, his nerves mature and his maturity grows. Alex de Minaur 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4) and entered the semi-finals in New York.

By achieving one of his most important wins in his career, Auger-Aliassime has now reached the U.S. Open semifinal for the second time in his career, four years after his first semifinal in 2021. “It’s been a tough few years, but it feels even better to go back to the semifinals now.”

After reaching a shrinking of up to 6 in 2022, Aliassime has been struggling in recent years as his ATP ranked No. 27, an effort for many injuries and confidence issues. This year, he couldn’t find his level in his biggest matches, losing his level in the third round of the first three Grand Slams this year. His last game before the U.S. Open was a 6-0, 6-2 win at Jannik Sinner, which could hurt his confidence.

However, in New York, everything is in place for Canadians. Olympiad – Aliassime scored his outstanding four-game victory in his third-seed Alexander Zverev and made a huge performance in the immediate victory of his 15th seed Andrey Rublev. He has been playing great tennis, combining his devastating serve, forehand and athleticism with patience and wisdom on the court.

But even with high confidence, the stratospheric bet for Grand Slam tennis means it is not always possible to perform well. Sometimes, this is important for survival. Two players entered Arthur Ashe Stadium and were fully aware of the huge opportunities ahead. Although the showdown provided De Minaur with the final chance to break a new position and reach his first Grand Slam semifinal on his sixth attempt, Auger-Aliassime tried to restore his path to injury and uneasy confidence after a few turbulent years.

This occasion causes tension, turbulent quarrels to make them unable to summon their best levels during periods of time and momentum that keeps shifting. De Minaur led the break in the second set and then lost the serve immediately for the first time in the game, then auger -aliassime failed to provide the third set. It seemed to be the fifth set when De Minaur won his fourth, but Auger-Aliassime instead dragged himself back into the game and closed it in four quarters.

By the final stage of each group, the most stressed was that the spiral-Aliasses was very stressed and determined to control the troubled De Minaur.

After the game, the disappointed Australian said: “It’s just a lot of tension throughout the game today.” “It’s never really pretty, but that’s the Grand Slam. Sometimes, sometimes you don’t feel the best, but I’m willing to dig deeper and can do my best to stay here now.”

It’s been a full decade since Auger-Aliassime first showed that his commitment reached the quarterfinals of the 14-year-old ATP Challenger event. As a generation that first acted on a professional tour in the 2000s, the hype was deafening. There is no doubt that his career has been a huge success and he has established one of the best players in the world, but he wants more. This week represents a step towards the age of 25.

It was an unsettling defeat for De Minaur when Auger-Aliassime celebrated a breakthrough victory. Despite his frustration that he couldn’t make it to the big semifinals, four of his opponents who went to the quarterfinals were established with the top five players, and Jannik Sinner in January recently removed him at the Australian Open in January. The only anomaly since then is Jack Draper, who has reached these heights himself.

Contrary to the main performance he faced in previous encounters, this time he found himself against a low-ranking opponent who couldn’t find his best tennis ball under this pressure. This time, he was unable to cope with the pressure at all.
