F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime missed out on a golden opportunity to advance to his first Grand Slam title match after falling 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to Italy\u2019s Flavio Cobolli in quarter-final action Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The fourth seed from Montreal had a favourable path to the final after several highly seeded players fell to early upsets, including top-ranked Jannik Sinner.<\/p>\n

But Auger-Aliassime once again met his match in the 10th-seeded Cobolli, who has won all three matchups between the players.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime looked to be in control after taking the first set and going up 3-1 in the second. But the Italian dominated the rest of the match.<\/p>\n

Cobolli out-aced Auger-Aliassime 8-7 \u2013 a rare result for the six-foot-four Canadian \u2013 and converted five of 10 break points.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime had 11 chances to break Cobolli, but was good on just three.<\/p>\n

Cobolli will face the winner of the late quarter-final between unseeded Italians Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi in his first Grand Slam semi-final.<\/p>\n

Second-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany and 26th-seeded Jakub Mensik will meet in the other semi-final.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime became the first Canadian to advance to the quarter-finals of all four Grand Slams at this year\u2019s French Open. he had advanced to two semi-finals, both times at the U.S. Open, but has yet to appear in a major final.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Canada\u2019s Gabriela Dabrowski and American partner Evan King advanced to the mixed doubles final with a 7-5, 6-7 (6), 10-5 victory over Croatia\u2019s Nikola Mektic and American Asia Muhammad.<\/p>\n

The unseeded Dabrowski and King will face Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori in the final. The top-seeded Italians dispatched Germany\u2019s Laura Siegemund and Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France in the other semi-final.<\/p>\n

Dabrowski, from Ottawa, is also playing women\u2019s doubles at the Grand Slam event with Brazil\u2019s Luisa Stefani. The fourth seeds have reached the semi-finals in that draw and will next play the top-seeded duo of Czechia\u2019s Katerina Siniakova and American Taylor Townsend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime after a fall during his quarter-final match against Italy’s Flavio Cobolli…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4293,4283,4294,1188,4276,1557,147,4275,4288,4289,4285,4277,4274,1131,4292,1294,4287,201,4305,4278,4279,3297,5,4284,1815,1333,4295,4281,4300,4301,4303,4298,4302,4296,4299,4280,3867,4291,356,4290,4297,3869,1138,614,4286,4282,243,4304],"class_list":["post-21976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-italy","tag-alberta","tag-arts-news","tag-bc","tag-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news-video","tag-british-columbia","tag-canada","tag-canada-news","tag-canada-sports","tag-canada-sports-news","tag-canada-trafficcanada-weather","tag-canadian-breaking-news","tag-canadian-news","tag-economy","tag-education","tag-environment","tag-federal-government","tag-foreign-news","tag-globe-and-mail","tag-globe-and-mail-breaking-news","tag-globe-and-mail-canada-news","tag-government","tag-italy","tag-life-news","tag-lifestyle","tag-local-news","tag-manitoba","tag-national-news","tag-new-brunswick","tag-newfoundland-and-labrador","tag-northwest-territories","tag-nova-scotia","tag-nunavut","tag-ontario","tag-pei","tag-photos","tag-political-news","tag-political-opinion","tag-politics","tag-politics-news","tag-quebec","tag-sports-news","tag-technology","tag-travel","tag-trudeau","tag-us-news","tag-world-news","tag-yukon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/italy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
