Felix Auger-Aliassime became the first player born in 2000 to reach the 4th round of the US Open following his victory against Moutet.

Felix Auger-Aliassime had no issues against Moutet in the 3rd round of the US Open as he cruised to an easy 6-1 6-0 6-4. By doing so, he made history becoming the first player born in 2000 to reach the US Open 4th round. After the match Felix admitted that Moutet played a long time below his usual level:

"That's not his usual level. The third set was more normal [for him]. As much as I'm happy to be leading 6-1, 6-0, you've got to stay in it. He's going to fight and try different things. I was able to play well in the right moments and I'm happy because I played even better than when we played last year."

Explaining his mindset on the court he said:

"With my physical abilities, my psychological abilities have to match it. I have to step it up and show confidence. I'm here to impose myself. Outside the court, I think I'm a pretty kind person. But once I step on the court, it's the best man that wins. You've got to step it up with that killer instinct."

His next match will be against Dominic Thiem which will be a proper challenge, one he had not yet faced.
