Summary
The name Felix Auger-Aliassime has been thrown around for a few years, and his rise up the rankings this year has been one of the most interest talking points of 2019.
Even the Tennis Podcast team weren’t expecting what he produced this week at Queen’s, beating Grigor Dimitrov, Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the space of 26 hours.
He’s now into the semifinals against Feliciano Lopez, a man more than twice his age. Lopez came back from a set down to beat Milos Raonic in a final set tie-break.
Perhaps the winner of the title will be Daniil Medvedev, who squashed Diego Schwartzman 6-2, 6-2.
In doubles, there was more Andy Murray chat after he and Lopez were called off for bad light against Dan Evans and Ken Skupski.
The Tennis Podcast is produced with Telegraph Sport, and available daily throughout the Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen’s Club, and Wimbledon.
