BASEL, Switzerland — Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5) on Sunday to successfully defend his Swiss Indoors tennis title.

Auger-Aliassime, from Montreal, completed the victory in one hour 52 minutes.

It was his first ATP Tour title of the season.

The 23-year-old Auger-Aliassime won four tournaments last year and reached a career-high sixth in the world rankings.

But injuries have been a problem at times this season and his ranking fell to No. 19.
