Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime has added another title to his name, winning the European Open in Belgium on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Canadian topped Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic 7-6(2), 6-6(7), 6-2 to win the hard-court ATP 250 tournament in Brussels.
Auger-Aliassime, seeded No. 2 at the tournament, fired 17 aces across the two-hour, 34-minute match and won 79 per cent of his first-serve points.
The Montreal native remained in control despite dropping the second set, converting two of his six break-point chances across the match and not allowing Lehecka a break-point opportunity.
Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime outlasted Jiri Lehecka of Czech Republic 7-6(2), 6-7(6), 6-2 Sunday to claim his eighth ATP Tour title this time in Brussels.
The victory marks Auger-Aliassime’s eighth career title and his third of the year, coming after he started off 2025 with wins at Montpellier, France, and Adelaide, Australia, in January.
Auger-Aliassime is currently ranked 13th in the world, down from the No. 6 spot he held in November 2022.
