–

Félix Auger-Aliassime was bruised and battered by a 3 1/2-hour marathon against Mikael Ymer Wednesday. But he won it.

And a few hours later, after the retiring Gilles Simon upset Taylor Fritz, he nailed down his spot at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin.

But what did he have left against Simon? What did Simon have left?

Well, not much. And the Canadian ended the Frenchman’s career, and is onto the quarterfinals.
