Felix Auger-Aliassime

The 20-year-old was seeded No. 14 and lost the first set against Marin Cilic in shocking fashion. Despite the bagel, he wouldn't bow down without a fight. The young Canadian would capture the second set to even things out, but he wasn't able to sustain the same level of play, losing 0-6, 6-3, 3-6, to the 2014 US Open champion.
