–

A final for Félix Auger-Aliassime, who narrowly escaped Arthur Cazaux in the first round and beat Tommy Paul while playing far from his best in Friday’s semifinal.

He’s into his first outdoor final since Melbourne in 2021. And that’s a great start to his season.

In Auckland, the first Belgian since David Goffin in 2014 is into an ATP final, facing the seasoned warrior Gaël Monfils.

(Auckland is 18 hours ahead and Adelaide is 15 1/2 hours ahead of ET).
