Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime has won the Adelaide International, beating American Sebastian Korda 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the final. 

The 24-year-old Montrealer used his big serve to capture the victory, firing 10 aces and winning 75 per cent of his service points across the match. 

Both players struggled with break points, with No. 2 seed Korda converting just 1 of 5 and Auger-Aliassime going 3 for 10. 

The win capped a solid tournament where the world No. 29 beat American Taylor Fritz in round-robin action before topping France’s Arthur Cazaux, Marco Giron of the United States and Adelaide’s top seed, American Tommy Paul. 

Winning the Australian Open tune-up tournament marks the sixth ATP singles title of Auger-Aliassime’s career and his first on outdoor hard courts. 

The Canadian will kick off his first Grand Slam of the season on Sunday when he faces Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff in first-round play.
