Felix Auger-Aliassime has passed another big test at the US Open.

The Canadian knocked off No. 8 seed Alex de Minaur of Australia 4-6, 7-6, 7-5, 7-6 to reach the semifinals of the Grand Slam tournament.

It is the first time since 2021 that Auger-Aliassime has reached the semifinals at Flushing Meadows.

The No. 25 seed has now earned wins over three top 20 seeds after knocking off No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the third round and No. 15 Andrey Rublev in the Round of 16.

Auger-Aliassime will now await the winner of the final quarterfinal match between defending champion Jannick Sinner and No. 10 Lorenzo Musetti, both of Italy. That match will be played on Friday.

No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz and No. 7 seed Novak Djokovic will clash in the other semifinal.
