Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime lost 7-5, 6-4 to Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff in a men’s quarterfinal Saturday at the Bavarian International Tennis Championships in Munich.
The match that started Friday in Munich was interrupted by rain and completed Saturday.
Fourth-seeded Struff led the second set 3-1 when the match was suspended.
He hit six aces to the Canadian’s three and won 66 per cent of first serve points.
Struff had no double faults while fifth-seeded Auger-Aliassime produced three in a match that went an hour and 43 minutes.
Auger-Aliassime, 23, dropped to a career 2-2 against Struff.
Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza of Spain announced her retirement.
Muguruza, who reached No. 1 on Sept. 11, 2017, has not played since a first-round loss in Lyon, France, on Jan. 30, 2023. She went on hiatus after that tournament.
“I feel I am ready to retire, to open this new chapter in my life. A new era, a new life,” the 30-year-old said at a news conference in Madrid.
Muguruza holds the distinction of beating each of the Williams sisters to win a major title.
She beat Serena Williams in the French Open in 2016, and Venus Williams at Wimbledon the following year.
She lost to Sofia Kenin in the final at the Australian Open in 2020. She never advanced past the round of 16 at the U.S. Open.
Muguruza retires with a career record of 449-238, 10 titles and earnings of $24.8 million.
