'Ridiculous' call eliminates Felix Auger-Aliassime at Cincinnati Open ...

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime is out of the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament after falling to Great Britain's Jack Draper 7-5, 4-6, 4-6 in a third-round matchup on Friday.

Auger-Aliassime fired 12 aces, but struggled with his serve, chalking up 12 double faults in his second match of the day.

The Montreal native broke Draper in the first set and won 73 per cent of his first service points across the match.

The winning point was a controversial call, after the volley from Draper appeared to ricochet off the court before falling over the net.
