The Mallorca Championships 2025 men’s quarterfinals delivered thrilling action and a strong showing from Canada’s Félix Auger-Aliassime, who punched his ticket to the semifinals with a hard-fought comeback victory. Auger-Aliassime faced a stern challenge from Serbia’s Hamad Medjedovic, dropping the first set 3-6. However, the Canadian star shifted gears in the second, showcasing his signature power and precision to take the next two sets 6-1, 6-4. With this win, Félix proves he’s peaking at just the right time ahead of Wimbledon.

Fellow Canadian Gabriel Diallo wasn’t as fortunate in his quarterfinal clash.

Despite the loss, Diallo showed promise throughout the tournament, and his powerful serve-and-volley game continues to evolve impressively on grass.

Elsewhere, French shotmaker Corentin Moutet outclassed American teenager Learner Tien, winning 6-2, 7-5 with his trademark variety and on-court creativity. Meanwhile, Alex Michelsen of the U.S. upset Spanish veteran Roberto Bautista Agut in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6(3), using aggressive tactics and smart net play to seal the win.
