Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime saw his run at the French Open come to an end Sunday with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 loss to No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain.
Alcaraz had little trouble from Auger-Aliassime, breaking the Canadian six times on 16 chances and hitting 34 winners, 20 more than Auger-Aliassime, to wrap up the match in two hours 20 minutes.
Auger-Aliassime didn't help his cause with 39 unforced errors, 15 more than Alcaraz.
The 23-year-old Canadian appeared to struggle with his left leg and called a trainer at the changeover at 3-2 down in the second set, then left the court for a medical timeout.
Alcaraz has won three straight matches against Auger-Aliassime to tie their career series at 3-3.
