MARSEILLE, France — Félix Auger-Aliassime is through to the semifinals of the Open 13 in Marseille.

He upset top-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas in his title-winning match at the ABM Ambro in Rotterdam.

The 21-year-old lost his previous eight finals dating back to 2019.

Auger-Aliassime will meet Roman Safiullin in one semifinal, while second-seeded Andrey Rublev of Russia will play ninth-seeded Benjamin Bonzi of France.
