STUTTGART, Germany — Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime is heading to the quarterfinals of the Stuttgart Open.

Auger-Aliassime won 81 per cent of his points when he got his first serve in and saved nine of 10 break points against the 54th-ranked Harris.

The Canadian, who got a bye in the first round, is playing his first grass event of the season after bowing out of the French Open in the opening round.

Auger-Aliassime will face world No. 32 Ugo Humbert of France in the quarterfinals.
