PARIS, ⁠June 1 (Reuters) - Felix Auger-Aliassime beat ⁠Chilean Alejandro Tabilo 6-3 7-5 6-1 ‌at the French Open on Monday to become the first Canadian man to reach the quarter-finals ​at all four Grand Slam ⁠tournaments and stay ⁠on track for his maiden major title.

• ⁠Canadian ‌world number six Auger-Aliassime eased through the opening set before ⁠Toronto-born Tabilo stepped up his game.

• ​The players ‌went toe-to-toe until Tabilo dropped his ⁠serve in ​the 11th game, handing Auger-Aliassime the advantage.

• A clean hold meant Auger-Aliassime had ⁠a two-set lead and the ​25-year-old barely looked back from there.

• After edging ahead in the third, the fourth ⁠seed finished the match in style.

• Auger-Aliassime looked fresh despite being taken to five sets in his opener and ​playing two four-set matches.

• ⁠He will take on Flavio Cobolli in ​the next round, after ‌the 10th seed beat ​American Zachary Svajda.
