At this Stage
By the close of a bruising day for Canadian tennis — Shapovalov, Andreescu and Fernandez all beaten — Auger-Aliassime was the flag's last carrier, and he carried it lightly. The third seed never faced a break point, landed 15 aces and out-hit Shevchenko 37 winners to seven in a 94-minute stroll past an opponent who owned a single tour-level grass win. Openers like this are about spending nothing you might need later. Next in the last 64 came Dino Prižmić, the young Croatian who beat Adam Walton in four; the Canadian passed that examination too, without dropping a set.
