Félix Auger-Aliassime, ranked 4th in the ATP, was eliminated in the second round of the US Open at Flushing Meadows. He lost his match against Russian player Karen Khachanov, who is ranked 50th in the world.

This early exit marks a disappointing end for the Québécois, who had high expectations for this year's tournament in New York.
