US Open 2025 results: Felix Auger-Aliassime beats Alex de Minaur to reach semi-finals

Felix Auger-Aliassime dealt further Grand Slam quarter-final heartbreak to Alex de Minaur with a battling victory to reach the US Open last four.The Canadian came from a set down to win 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 7-5 7-6 (7-4) and reach the semi-finals at a major for the first time since 2021.Australia’s De Minaur has reached six Grand Slam quarter-finals – including three in New York – but has still yet to go beyond that stage.It was a back-and-forth match that at times lacked quality on both sides of the net, with a combined total of 22 double faults and 93 unforced errors.”I think it was just a lot of nerves today during the whole match,” Auger-Aliassime said. “It wasn’t pretty at all times but that’s what Grand Slam matches are – some days you won’t feel your best but I was willing to dig really deep to stand here right now.”The biggest challenges are yet to come but that’s what I live for, so I’m going to show up and be ready for my match on Friday.”Auger-Aliassime will face either world number one and defending champion Jannik Sinner or Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti for a place in the final
