Italian Open: Navone Stuns Auger-Aliassime For Maiden Top-10 Win, Enters Rd 3
Canadian Denis Shapovalov: World No. 44 Mariano Navone produced the biggest win of his career after defeating World No. 5 Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6(4), 7-6(5) to advance to the third round of the Italian Open on Saturday.
The Argentine held his nerve in a tense contest lasting nearly three hours at the Foro Italico to secure his first victory over a top-10 opponent and continue his strong run on clay this season. The result also marked Navone’s maiden appearance in the third round of an ATP Masters 1000 event.
Navone, who arrived in Rome after winning his first ATP Tour title in Bucharest earlier this year, showed composure in both tie-breaks against an increasingly troubled Auger-Aliassime. The Canadian struggled physically late in the second set, appearing hampered by leg cramps and finding it difficult to move during crucial points.
