BASEL — Canadians Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov both withdrew from their quarterfinal matches on Friday at the Swiss Indoors tennis tournament.
Montreal’s Auger-Aliassime, a two-time winner of the ATP 500 event, retired after losing the first set 6-3 to Spain’s Jaume Munar.
Later, Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., retired while down 3-6, 6-3, 4-1 to Brazil’s Joao Fonseca.
Auger-Aliassime, who won his third trophy of the year last week in Brussels, saw his hopes of qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin dented with the loss.
He entered the tournament ranked 12th in the world and ninth in the Race to Turin standings, 340 points behind eighth-placed Lorenzo Musetti. The top eight qualify for the year-end championship.
