Montreal’s Auger-Aliassime advances at men’s singles at Shanghai Masters

SHANGHAI — Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the next round of men’s singles action at the Rolex Shanghai Masters tennis tournament on Monday.

Auger-Aliassime beat Jesper de Jong of the Netherlands 6-4, 7-5 in the round of 32.

The last time the Quebecer had beaten de Jong was in February in the semifinals of the Open Occitanie in Montpellier, France.

Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., failed to advance to the next round after he was defeated by Czechia’s Jiri Lehecka 6-4, 6-4.

The 12th-seeded Auger-Aliassime will next play in the round of 16 Tuesday, but his opponent is still to be determined.
