Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime added another title to his name, winning the European Open in Belgium on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Canadian beat Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic 7-6(2), 6-6(7), 6-2 to win the ATP 250 hard-court tournament in Brussels.
Auger-Aliassime, the tournament’s second seed, fired 17 aces during the two-hour, 34-minute match and won 79 percent of her first-serve points.
She remained in control despite losing the second set, converting two of her six break point opportunities throughout the match and not allowing Lehecka a break point opportunity.
“It’s the final, so we risked everything,” Auger-Aliassime said. “I feel like we were both extremely focused from the beginning. It was a high level for two sets, then you don’t know how things can go.”
“But obviously I’m happy.”
Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic 7-6(2), 6-7(6), 6-2 on Sunday to claim his eighth ATP Tour title, this time in Brussels.
The victory marks Auger-Aliassime’s eighth career title and third of the year, after she began 2025 with wins in January in Montpellier, France, and Adelaide, Australia.
He is now tied with Milos Raonic for the most singles titles among Canadian men in the Open era.
