Trending
Auger-Aliassime rallied from a set down in his first three matches. He staged comebacks to beat Francisco Comesana, Alexandre Muller and Daniel Altmaier to set up a quarterfinal showdown with reigning Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot.
While Auger-Aliassime was made to toil hard in his first three matches, Vacherot couldn't put up much resistance. The Canadian broke his opponent's serve twice in each set to register a comfortable 6-2, 6-2 victory.
Bublik, meanwhile, scored straight-set wins over Alexei Popyrin, Corentin Moutet, and fourth seed Taylor Fritz to make the last eight, where he was up against sixth seed Alex de Minaur. Neither player conceded any ground during their service games in the first set, which led to a tie-break. De Minaur gained the upper hand in the tie-break to claim the set.
The two were evenly matched for most of the contest, but the Kazakh raised his level during crucial moments. Bublik secured a break of serve in each of the next two sets to wrap up a 6-7(5), 6-4, 7-5 win.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Alexander Bublik prediction
Auger-Aliassime was thoroughly tested in his first three matches, and then played his easiest match of the week in the quarterfinals. Bublik, on the other hand, was made to work hard by de Minaur in the previous round after three routine matches.
This is Auger-Aliassime's first Masters 1000 semifinal since his runner-up finish at the Madrid Open in 2024 and Bublik's first overall.
Both players have had a resurgence over the past few months. Auger-Aliassime has an 18-4 record since August, while Bublik has compiled a 21-5 record since July. Their rivalry has followed a pattern so far, with the two players alternating wins. If the pattern holds, then this will be Bublik's turn to win.
Bublik has already ousted two top-10 players this week, and has his sights set on yet another scalp. Both love playing indoors, and given their recent form, this match could go down to the wire.
Pick: Felix Auger-Aliassime to win in three sets.
