Canada's Auger-Aliassime beats No. 2-seed Korda to win Adelaide International
Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime has won the Adelaide International, beating American Sebastian Korda 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the final.
The 24-year-old Montrealer used his big serve to capture the victory, firing 10 aces and winning 75 per cent of his service points across the match. The win capped a solid tournament where the world No. 29 beat American Taylor Fritz in round-robin action before topping France's Arthur Cazaux, Marco Giron of the United States and Adelaide's top seed, American Tommy Paul.
Winning the Australian Open tune-up tournament marks the sixth ATP singles title of Auger-Aliassime's career and his first on outdoor hard courts.
The Canadian will kick off his first Grand Slam of the season Sunday when he faces Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff in first-round play.
