Casper Ruud of Norway and Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada look to barge into the medal round as the two ATP stars face off in the quarterfinals of men’s singles competition at the 2024 Olympic Games. Ruud, the two-time French Open finalist, will gun for his nation’s first medal in the men’s singles event. So far so good for the Norwegian as he overcame Taro Daniel of Japan 7-5 6-1, Andrea Vavassori of Italy 4-6 6-4 6-3, and Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina 6-3, 6-4 to reach the last eight. Auger-Aliassime also looks imposing in this Olympic Games, winning all his first three matches in straight sets. The Canadian sensation toppled Marcos Giron of the United States 6-1, 6-4, Maximillian Marterer of Germany 6-0, 6-1, and Daniil Medvedev of Russia 6-3, 7-6. Canada is still searching for its first medal in Olympic men’s singles tennis, putting immense pressure on Auger-Aliassime’s back to perform.
