Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Damir Dzumhur preview

Second-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime will begin his campaign at the 2025 European Open with a second-round clash against Damir Dzumhur.

Auger-Aliassime's season has seen the Canadian player have some excellent results on the hard courts, as he won two titles at Adelaide and Montpellier to begin his season. He also reached the final on the hard courts in Dubai, coming second against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

After an underwhelming stint across the clay and grass court seasons, Auger-Aliassime reached the quarterfinals in Cincinnati and then had a tremendous semifinal run at the US Open, losing to Jannik Sinner both times. He is coming into Brussels on the back of a strong quarterfinal run in Shanghai (lost to Arthur Rinderknech), and began with an opening-round bye in Stockholm.

Playing both at Challenger and on the main Tours, Damir Dzumhur has won 33 matches of the 63 he has played. At the Challenger level, his best performance was a runner-up finish at the Capa Cana Challenger and a semifinal finish at the Zadar Challenger.

On the main Tour level, there have been only four events where Dzumhur has gone past the third round. All of them were clay-court events, as he reached the quarterfinals in Santiago and Bastad, and had semifinal finishes at Bucharest and Umag. At the European Open, he began his campaign with a 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (3) win over Federico China in the first round.

He is a fan of former player Roger Federer, and just like his favorite player, Sagnik likes to bring perfection to his write-ups by providing concise and on-point content. Speaking of the ‘GOAT’ debate, Sagnik believes that it is a bit unfair to compare the legends of the game from different eras who have played on different terms. But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
