Gasquet and Caruso through to Sofia Open quarterfinal

Felix Auger-Aliassime recently played very well and even won his first ATP title in Paris. He was hoping that trend would continue in Sofia but he didn't play well at all against Caruso losing 6-4 6-4. It was a very physical match and quite long for a two setter but the Italian, known as a clay court specialist, prevailed against the Canadian. The first set was a close one with both players winning games easily at the start. Caruso found a way to carve out a break point which he converted to take the lead. He then served out the set 6-4. Auger didn't play poorly but Caruso just won very crucial points and served well enough to hold the lead. The 2nd set was a similar one where Auger had chances but failed to use them while Caruso used his chances. All of that was enough for the upset which left Auger-Aliassime visibly disappointed.
