FLORENCE, Italy — Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated J.J. Wolf 6-4, 6-4 to win his second ATP Tour trophy at the Firenze Open on Sunday.

The Montreal native fired 11 aces, the last of which he won the one-hour-41-minute match with. Auger-Aliassime, the top seed in the tournament, won 85 per cent of his first-serve points.

He closed the tournament only having lost his serve four times in four matches.

The 22-year-old, currently ranked 13th in the world, is set to move to No. 10 by Monday following his title win.
