MELBOURNE, Australia — Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime’s journey at the Australian Open ended in the third round after a straight-set loss of 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 to Daniil Medvedev on Saturday.

The third-seeded Russian will now face Nuno Borges in the fourth round after he downed the 13th-seeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov by 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6).

There are no Canadians left in the singles draws at Melbourne Park.

All eyes are now on Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe of Montreal, who did not have to play their women’s doubles match on Saturday.
