Felix Auger-Aliassime has withdrawn from Canada’s upcoming Davis Cup tie due to fatigue after competing in the U.S. Open , Tennis Canada announced on Saturday.
The World Group I tie between Canada and Israel is set to take place Sept. 12-13 in Halifax.
The tie will determine which of the two nations will advance to compete in next year’s Davis Cup Qualifiers.
Canada was relegated to World Group I after a 3-2 loss to Hungary in February’s first-round qualifier in Montreal.
Auger-Aliassime is coming off a quality run through the U.S. Open, where he made it to the semifinals on Friday as the 25th seed.
The Montreal native was ousted by world No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy in four sets.
It was Auger-Aliassime’s second semifinal appearance at a Grand Slam and first since the U.S. Open
