WIMBLEDON — Felix Auger-Aliassime was involved in the "best point" of his career as he punched his ticket to a Wimbledon quarterfinal clash with Novak Djokovic.
The Canadian recorded a 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (8-6), 6-3, 6-7 (2-7), 6-1 victory in four hours and 26 minutes against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
In a thrilling match of drama the pair also played out an insane rally — which the No.3 seed ended up losing — but he was still beaming with a smile and happy to be involved in a point that left the entire court on its feet.
"It was insane. Best point I've ever played, just 'cause that live reaction from the crowd. Now I can talk about it. When you have the full roar of the crowd, the full crowd up on their feet while the point is playing on, it shook me, like, middle of the point," Auger-Aliassime said.
