This is a different Felix Auger-Aliassime, right?

Shaky start, strong finish from Daniil Medvedev to beat Denis Shapovalov 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 and win Vienna.

Medvedev said earlier in the week that he was finally playing again at the level he’s been trying to find “for a long, long time”.

An encouraging event for Shapovalov too.

@Denis_Shapo joins Felix Auger-Aliassime in reaching a big final.

Shapovalov vs. Medvedev in the Vienna final.

Sheesh, Felix Auger-Aliassime is in electrifying form. It’s great to see.

“Very close to perfect”, he says after beating Carlos Alcaraz 6-3 6-2.

He now has two wins vs Alcaraz since the US Open. (Rivalry alert?)
