    Alejandro Tabilo is starting to look a little dejected now. The Chilean returns into the net and turns away to vent his frustration.

    A really cute drop shot winner from Felix Auger-Aliassime for 0-30 is not going to help Tabilo's mood either. Auger-Aliassime almost pulls off the same trick again but it falls just short for 15-30.

    It's a good recovery from Tabilo, though, as he wins another two points in a row for 40-30 until a laboured backhand takes them to deuce.

    Auger-Aliassime 6-3 7-5 0-0 Tabilo*

    In theory, Alejandro Tabilo should be the fresher of the two out there today. Tabilo got a walkover in round two and had only played a total of seven sets before today.

    Felix Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, has accumulated over 11 hours of time on court across 13 sets over the past week.

    But the Canadian already has two sets in the bag as he eyes a place in the quarter-finals.
