Auger-Aliassime’s loss was Taylor Fritz’s gain but he can move back ahead of the American if he can win his round of 16 match in Florence.
The 22-year-old has performed well on indoor hard courts in 2022, lifting his maiden ATP Tour crown in Rotterdam in February before reaching the final in Marseille a week later, he also owns an indoor win over Novak Djokovic from his Laver Cup outing last month.
