The triumphal march of tennis talent Justin Engel at the Rasm tournament in Stuttgart has ended: in the quarter-finals, the 17-year-old lost to the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime.
Engel showed a courageous performance, but was ultimately lost 6: 7 (3: 7), 3: 6. In the round of the last four, Canadians either meet Marton Fucsovics (Hungary) or Taylor Fritz (USA/No. 2).
The first sentence is only decided in the tiebreak
At the start of the game in front of well -filled ranks, angels served two aces, but initially could not bring his first serve as well as in the round of 16 against Alex Michelsen (USA). The youngster did not let himself be unsettled by this, found to “old” service strength during the first section and ultimately had to give up in the Tiebreak in the Tiebreak in Stuttgart. In the second run, the Auger-Alicassime ended with the 18th ASS (angel: seven) the match after 1:38 hours and thus the tournament for the young angel.
Justin Engel is on the way up in the world rankings
However, angels do not have to grieve. He contested his first lawn event in the professional area at the Stuttgart Weissenhof – and wrote directly tennis history. Since Boris Becker’s Triumph in Wimbledon 40 years ago, he has been the youngest player who reached an ATP quarter-finals on this topping. From the current world ranking place 281, the German hope for the future will now climb significantly – despite the departure against Félix Auger -Aliasime.
