ROME —
An uncomfortable Félix Auger-Aliassime was upset in the second round of Italian Open men’s singles Saturday.
The 25-year-old from Montreal, who was the fourth seed in the tournament, was ousted by unseeded Mariano Navone of Argentina 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5).
Auger-Aliassime dealt with a leg issue in the second set and struggled to even walk at times during the second-set tiebreak.
