Generational Rivalry: Jannik Sinner wins first 2026 clash with Carlos Alcaraz in Monte Carlo for biggest career clay title

Felix Auger-Aliassime continued to show he’s one of the hottest players on the tour at the moment on Thursday, needing just 49 minutes to cruise past No. 28-ranked Miomir Kecmanovic, 6-1, 6-0, in the second round of the ATP 500 indoor event in Basel.

After the two players traded holds in the first two games of the match, Auger-Aliassime reeled off 11 games in a row to completely run away with it.

“Honestly, it’s tough to play better than that from my part,” the No. 9-ranked Canadian said in his on-court interview after the match. “For sure the best match I’ve played in my whole life. Not in my career—since I was a little kid.”

Auger-Aliassime finished the match with 25 winners to just 6 unforced errors.

“It’s a good feeling. It was a treat to play this level,” the Canadian added. “I’m having a lot of fun here and it’s been going well, so hopefully it keeps going this way.”

With his victory over Kecmanovic in Basel, Auger-Aliassime became the first man born in the 2000s to record 150 career wins.

It was a triple milestone victory for Auger-Aliassime.

First of all, it was his 10th win in a row. He came into Basel on an eight-match winning streak, having won back-to-back ATP 250 indoor events in Florence, Italy and Antwerp, Belgium the last two weeks—his 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4 victory over Swiss wild card Marc-Andrea Huesler in the first round here was his ninth win in a row, and now he hits double digits with his victory over Kecmanovic. It’s the longest tour-level winning streak of his career, his previous-longest winning streak being eight in a row.

Second of all, it was his 50th win of the year—he’s just the third man to record 50 or more wins this year, after Stefanos Tsitsipas (57 going into Thursday) and Carlos Alcaraz (54).

Finally, it was the 150th win of his career—he’s the first man born in the 2000s to reach that milestone, the next-most going to Jannik Sinner (126) and Alcaraz (87).

Awaiting the Canadian in the quarterfinals of Basel will be Alexander Bublik—the two are tied 1-1 in their head-to-head, but they haven’t played in more than two years.
