ESTORIL, Portugal — Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime was eliminated from the Estoril Open tennis tournament after a 6-2, 6-2 quarterfinal loss to American Sebastian Korda on Friday.

Korda had 11 break-point chances in the match and cashed in on five of them. 

The American faced break point just three times and saved two.

Auger-Aliassime won just 48 per cent of service points and 38 per cent of return points, compared to Korda’s 62 per cent on serve and 52 per cent when returning.
