–

Félix Auger-Aliassime, the only man on the Canadian Olympic tennis squad, is the last one to make his Tokyo debut as he takes on a challenging for in two-time defending gold medalist Andy Murray.

Murray and partner Joe Salisbury already pulled off the upset of the day in the doubles event, beating No. 2 seeds Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert in straight sets on Monday.

He knows how to do this.

They met at the US Open last August, with Auger-Aliassime winning in straight sets.
