BARCELONA, Spain — Felix Auger-Aliassime is out of the Barcelona Open after a 6-3, 6-3 quarterfinal loss against No. 2 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece on Friday.

The 10th-seeded Auger-Aliassime, from Montreal, has lost his past four matches against Tsitsipas after winning his first two.

Tsitsipas saved all three break points he faced against Auger-Aliassime in the clay-court confrontation.

Auger-Aliassime, who beat fellow Canadian Denis Shapovalov in the previous round, was 2-for-5 in the same category.

Tsitsipas won the first big clay court event of the season last week when he captured the Monte Carlo ATP Masters event.
