He then won the Open Occitaine in France

He retired in the first round in Rotterdam, but then had a strong Middle East swing, reaching the quarterfinals in Qatar and the final in Dubai, where he lost in straight sets to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Tristan Schoolkate prediction

24-year-old Schoolkate played in last week's BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, but was knocked out in three sets by American Ethan Quinn in qualifying. He's a force to be reckoned with on the Challenger tour, but the same cannot be said on the ATP Tour.

Felix Auger-Aliassime, is by far the more seasoned professional and has the better resume. He's achieved one Major semifinal and two quarterfinals in his career and has seven tour titles under his belt. Auger-Aliassime's erratic form might give his Australian opponent a chance, but he'll be too strong at this level. Schoolkate may well take him to three sets.

Pick: Felix Auger-Aliassime in three sets.
