'Ridiculous' call eliminates Felix Auger-Aliassime at Cincinnati Open

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime is out of the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament after falling to Great Britain's Jack Draper 7-5, 4-6, 4-6 in a third-round matchup on Friday.

Auger-Aliassime fired 12 aces, but struggled with his serve, chalking up 12 double faults in his second match of the day.

The Montreal native broke Draper in the first set and won 73 per cent of his first service points across the match.

The winning point was a controversial call, after the volley from Draper appeared to ricochet off the court before falling over the net.

The umpire ruled that the ball went over the net without hitting the ground and Draper wins the match 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. The play could not be reviewed because there's no review available for anything other than line-call challenges.

Auger-Aliassime beat Norway's Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-1 in a rain-delayed fourth-round bout earlier on Friday.

In women's singles action, Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., handed Russia's Diana Shnaider a 6-1, 6-4 loss in third-round play.

Fernandez came back from down 4-1 in the second set after play was suspended due to rain, breaking on four of her 10 chances while firing seven aces to six double faults.

Carlos Alcaraz repeatedly smashed his racket on the court in a rare show of frustration on Friday, and the four-time Grand Slam winner fell to Gael Monfils 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 at the Cincinnati Open.

In a match that was suspended by rain on Thursday night with the players in a second-set tiebreaker, the 37-year-old Monfils advanced by taking the last two sets from the second-seeded Alcaraz, who called the loss his "worst match."

Alcaraz was playing his first match since earning a silver medal at the Paris Olympics after losing to Novak Djokovic, who also beat him last year in the Cincinnati final.
