Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Félix Auger-Aliassime is looking for a semifinal spot in Stuttgart, were he faces. No. 2 seed Taylor Fritz.

And Gabriel Diallo is looking to do the same in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, where he faces No. 2 seed Ugo Humbert.

The cover photo flashes back to 2018, when 17-year-old Félix Auger-Aliassime qualified for the Indian Wells main draw and played Milos Raonic.

And Auger-Aliassime’s father Sam, who was coaching Diallo after Tennis Canada soured on his prospects, brought 16-year-old Diallo along for the ride.

There’s only barely a year between them with Auger-Aliassime born in the summer of 2000 and Diallo 13 months later. But, of course, one was a precocious prodigy and the other a late bloomer.

And on Saturday, they kind of end up in the same place, with the same kits, in different cities.

(Stuttgart and ‘s-Hertogenbosch are six hours ahead of EDT).
