Canada’s Auger-Aliassime dispatches Gasquet to reach European Open final

ANTWERP, Belgium — Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime has reached his second consecutive ATP tennis final.

The 22-year-old from Montreal edged Richard Gasquet of France, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (3) in Saturday’s semifinals of the ATP 250 European Open.

The second-seeded Auger-Aliassime will play American Sebastian Korda for his third ATP title on Sunday. Korda defeated Dominic Thiem of Austria in Saturday’s other semifinal.

Auger-Aliassime is coming off his second ATP Tour victory last weekend at the Firenze Open, where he defeated J.J. Wolf of the U.S. in the final.
