Félix Auger-Aliassime has reached the round of 16 of the Bitpanda Hamburg Open 2025. The Canadian defeated the German Daniel Altmaier 6:3 and 6:3 after 1:19 hours. Auger-Aliassime got his revenge for his first-round defeat at the tournament in Monte Carlo in April. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who won 7:6 and 6:4 against Alexander Bublik, awaits in the next round.
The Rothenbaum had already had to say goodbye to a crowd favorite before Altmaier: Gaël Monfils, who even at the age of 38 was still tireless and received frenetically by his fans on the center court, lost 3:6 and 3:6 to Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
As a result of Altmaier’s elimination, two Germans remain in the tournament – Hamburg local hero Alexander Zverev, seeded number one, and top talent Justin Engel, both of whom will play on Centre Court on Wednesday. Engel will play the 2020 Hamubrg winner Andrey Rublev in the second match of the day, while Zverev will face Alexandre Muller from France afterwards.
There were also two Argentinian duels on Court M1 on Tuesday: Tomás Martín Etcheverry defeated Fransisco Comesaña 7:6 and 6:3 and will face Camilo Ugo Carabelli on Wednesday. Carabelli defeated his compatriot, last year’s semi-finalist Sebastián Báez, 6:3, 2:6 and 6:4.
