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.

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.
