In a stunning display of resilience and powerful serving, Canadian tennis star Felix Auger Aliassime captured the European Open title in Brussels on October 19, defeating Czech Republic’s Jiri Lehecka in a tightly contested three-set final. The 25-year-old Montrealer secured an 8th career ATP Tour singles title with a 7-6(2), 6-7(6), 6-2 victory in a match that lasted two hours and thirty-four minutes.
The match was a serving masterclass from both players, with neither able to break serve in the first two sets, leading to consecutive tiebreaks before Auger Aliassime ultimately dominated the deciding set. During the trophy ceremony, an emotional Felix Auger Aliassime immediately turned his attention to a very special person in the crowd— his new wife , Nina Ghaibi.
