Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime withdraws from Italian Open

Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime has withdrawn from the Italian Open.

Auger-Aliassime was scheduled to take on Thiago Seyboth Wild in the Round of 64 at the ATP Rome event on Saturday.

The Montreal native has struggled lately, with a five-match losing streak, four of which have come against players ranked well outside the top 50.

Hugo Dellien will now take Auger-Aliassime’s spot in the main draw. The Bolivian will face Seyboth Wild.
