Adelaide International 2025: Auger-Aliassime beats Paul to reach final
The HinduFelix Auger-Aliassime needed four match points and nearly three hours to beat Tommy Paul 7-6, 3-6, 6-4 and reach the Adelaide International final on Friday. The semi-final was marred by more than 90 unforced errors, with Auger-Aliassime failing to close out a straight-sets win when Paul won six of the last seven games in the second set. “It was not the best level from either of us, but sometimes matches are like that, you have to find a way through.” In the women’s draw, two-time Australian Open semi-finalist Madison Keys won 5-7, 7-5, 3-0 over Liudmila Samsonova to send her into a second final at Memorial Drive. “It’s not how you want to win but I’m glad I was able to stick around and tough it out.” She faces either top seed Jessica Pegula or Kazakh Yulia Putintseva in the final.
