Félix Auger-Aliassime’s dominance on indoor hard courts continued Saturday with an impressive 6-1, 6-2 victory over world no. 10 Alexander Bublik in under an hour to advance to the championship match at the ABN AMRO Open, an ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
He was utterly dominant in the opening set in every aspect, securing two breaks of serve and allowing only one winner off the Bublik racket. It was more of the same in the second frame as Auger-Aliassime earned the decisive break in the fifth game and never looked back, reeling off the final three games in imperious fashion.

The win marks Auger-Aliassime’s 93rd indoor win since 2020 which leads the ATP Tour. It’s also his first Top 10 victory of the 2026 season. The 25-year-old Canadian advances to the 22nd ATP singles final of his career and third in Rotterdam. He will look to lift the trophy on Sunday for a second time after being crowned champion in 2022.
Auger-Aliassime rides an 8-match win streak into the final after taking home top honours in Montpellier last week, setting a Canadian record for most ATP titles in the Open Era with nine. He will meet Alex de Minaur for the crown on Sunday. The Aussie will be appearing in his third straight Rotterdam final.
