Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada will shoot for her second title of the year on Sunday when he slugs it out with the giant-slaying Aleksandar Kovacevic of the United States in the championship match of the 2025 Open Occitanie. Auger-Aliassime improved his record to 9-2 in 2025 after besting Jesper de Jong of the Netherlands 6-4 7-6(4). Known for her big serves, the Canadian milked majority of his points from her services, winning 31 first-serve points and 16 second-serve points. He also delivered at the clutch, scoring the important points in the crucial moments of the match, especially in the second-set tiebreaker where he broke De Jong’s serve two times. Kovacevic gutted out a shocking two-set win over No.1 seed Andrey Rublev of Russia 7-5 6-4 in the semifinal. Ranked No.102 in the world, Kovacevic caught her top-seeded foe by surprise as he stormed to a 3-0 lead in the first set. Rublev rallied to tie the score at 4-4 but Kovacevic held his last two serves and broke to clinch the first set. The American engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Rublev in the second set, but again, found a way to clinch a win with a breakpoint in the 10th game of that set.
