Brilliant Felix Auger-Aliassime downs Borna Coric to make Miami Open semis
Felix Auger-Aliassime continued his dream run at the Miami Open by dominating Borna Coric to move into the semi-finals.
The 18-year-old Canadian has been a huge hit at Miami Gardens this week, and demonstrated the hype may well be justified with a brilliant display of tennis against Coric.
Felix Auger-Aliassime produced some power-hitting and outstanding footwork throughout to cruise to a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 win in what is his first Masters event.

Defending champion John Isner now awaits for Auger-Aliassime after his tiebreak luck held to a battling win over Roberto Bautista Agut.
“I haven’t seen Felix play too much,” Isner admitted, “but I know he’s one of the brightest up and coming stars we have.”
