A semifinal for Félix Auger-Aliassime, who narrowly escaped Arthur Cazaux and has run with that lease on life.
He got No. 1 seed Tommy Paul in Friday’s semis, which could be really good (or not). It turned out not to be good. But FAA won ugly.
And Gaël Monfils got Basavareddy – who will play Novak Djokovic in the first round at the Australian Open. The kid is getting his steps in on this voyage; he played Monfils in Brisbane and took him to three sets. This time, Monfils got him in two.
(Auckland is 18 hours ahead and Adelaide is 15 1/2 hours ahead of ET).
