Auger-Aliassime triumphs at Adelaide International

The world No.29 saved four break points in the first set against the American second seed.

And despite Auger-Aliassime only landing half of his 34 first serves in the first set, he took opening honours in 30 minutes against the world No.22.

The Canadian failed to cash in two more break points in the fifth game of the second set and soon faltered when his serve was broken as Korda took a 5-3 advantage before closing out the set.

But any momentum Korda had was shortlived. Auger-Aliassime broke serve in the second game in the third set for a 2-0 lead.

The 24-year-old never relinquished control, serving an ace on match point to clinch his first singles title since October 2023.
