TURIN — Canada’s Félix Auger-Aliassime fell 6-2, 6-4 to Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals of the ATP Finals tennis tournament on Saturday.

The Montreal native was coming off a straight-sets upset win over third-ranked Alexander Zverev of Germany on Friday.

However, the top-ranked Alcaraz proved to be too much.

Auger-Aliassime had five aces to just one double fault but failed to break on his lone opportunity in the match. Alcaraz, who will face second-ranked Jannik Sinner of Italy in Sunday’s final, also had five aces and one double fault, but broke on three of his eight chances.

With the opening set tied at 1-1, Alcaraz jumped out to a 4-1 edge before winning two of the three final games to take the set.

In the second, Auger-Aliassime was chasing, but pushed Alcaraz to a 4-4 tie. Alcaraz only gave up two points in the final two games to emerge victorious.
