BASEL, Switzerland – Defending champion Felix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal advanced to the quarterfinals of the Swiss Indoors tennis tournament with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Dutch qualifier Botic van de Zandschulp on Thursday.
Auger-Aliassime broke his opponent four times on six chances and won 56 per cent of total points.
He also played a clean game with just three unforced errors, while van de Zandschulp made seven.
Auger-Aliassime, seeded sixth in Basel, will next face Alexander Shevchenko.
