So far it’s very close to perfect" - Auger-Aliassime continues spell-binding form by reaching third consecutive final in Basel

Felix Auger-Aliassime is very close to making it three consecutive trophies as he will contest the Swiss Indoors final against Rune.

It came after he produced another strong showing in Basel, this time around taking down Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. This is the second time he defeated him since the US Open and since the Spaniard took over the number on spot.

This was even more impressive than the first one as it came in straight sets. Speaking after the match, Auger-Aliassime called the recent stretch 'close to perfect':

“So far it’s very close to perfect. I’ve been serving amazing, not getting broken once yet. There’s still one match to go, but it’s been a fantastic week. I’ve played some great tennis, and again today against the best player in the world.

He added:

“It’s an amazing win. So I’m really happy with my level and hopefully I can go all the way.”
