A very good start for Auger-Aliassime, who has taken a decend lead early on without breaking a sweat. His Canadian-born opponent, Tabilo, playing his first-ever Grand Slam round of 16 match, is finding it a bit hard at the moment, despite an early game win.
The players finally emerge on the court and exchange the pre-match formalities and warm-up rallies. Auger-Aliassime takes the serve to get the match underway, and wins a quick point.
Paris Saint-Germain players Desire Doue and Warren Zaire-Emery come on the court with the side’s Ligue 1 trophy. They are followed by Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola carrying the UEFA Champions League trophy, following PSG’s win in the final over Arsenal on Saturday.
