Felix Auger-Aliassime will have a shot at his second ATP Tour title - and a return to the World's Top 10 - after dismissing #NextGenATP Italian Lorenzo Musetti 6-2, 6-3 in the UniCredit Firenze Open semi-finals Saturday.
The Canadian, who has already climbed two places this week to No. 11 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings, will reclaim a coveted spot in the Top 10 if he beats first-time finalist J.J. Wolf.
“We started the match really good, at a very high level," Felix said. "He was playing amazing tennis and I thought, ‘I’m going to need to play my best tennis in order to win'. I think that’s what I did tonight, I played very complete tennis, a very solid performance. I’m really happy and looking forward to tomorrow.”

Significantly, Auger-Aliassime can extend his lead over Taylor Fritz in seventh place in the Pepperstone ATP Race To Turin, as both players fight to secure their first appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be played 13-20 November.
Musetti, who won an ATP 500 title in Hamburg during the clay season, has already qualified for the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals, to be played in Milan 8-12 November.
