Auger-Aliassime wins Swiss Indoors for 3rd title in October

Associated Press  

BASEL, Switzerland — Felix Auger-Aliassime won his third straight title in October, beating Holger Rune 6-3, 7-5 in the Swiss Indoors final on Sunday. Auger-Aliassime went through his five matches at Basel without dropping serve, and he saved all three break points Rune had. “I’m very far from that, but it’s so cool to have my name with all these great champions at this prestigious tournament,” said Auger-Aliassime, who beat the current U.S. Open champion, top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz, on Saturday in the semifinals. The third-seeded right-hander won the only break-point chance of the first set to lead 3-1 — also the first time unseeded Rune’s service was broken this week — and pressured him into another service break to take a 6-5 lead in the second.
