Droguet vs Auger Aliassime Prediction 5 August 2026
🔊 Felix Auger-Aliassime is back at the Montreal Masters, looking to go further than his 2022 quarter-final run - still his best result here. The local favourite enters in the second round against Titouan Droguet, who hadn't played on hard courts since the US Open but got straight back to winning ways, beating fellow Frenchman Luca Van Assche in a surprise result. Still, questions about Droguet's stamina are already there in the round of 32 - especially after a draining three-set match last time out.
Head-to-Head
📊 The only meeting this season came in Montpellier - Félix Auger-Aliassime won in three sets, taking another indoor title in France.
Titouan Droguet Player Overview
Droguet came through qualifying in Montreal and then pulled off a genuine upset in the first round, beating Luca Van Assche 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 - the same Van Assche who had just won his first ATP title in Estoril. Seven wins from his last ten matches. That's a consistent run by any measure. He wins around 73% of points on serve and takes just over half of all games played - enough to stay competitive against higher-ranked opponents, as he proved in round one.
Match Results: Titouan Droguet
Felix Auger Aliassime Player Overview
Felix Auger-Aliassime sits at No. 4 in the world and is in solid form - seven wins from his last ten. His serve is a weapon: 12+ aces per match, 80% of points won on serve. He's also unusually effective on return for a hard-court player, converting over half his break points (51%). The downside is his power game can be one-dimensional at times, which hands opponents free points and drags matches out - his matches average over 33 games.
Match Results: Felix Auger Aliassime
Key factors
- Their last meeting went three sets.
- Auger-Aliassime averages 33.2 games per match over his last ten.
- Droguet wins more than half the games in his matches.
Expected scenario
The match should run long. Both players hold serve consistently and keep rallies short - but they play a lot of points. Auger-Aliassime can also build an edge on return.
⭐ Editor's prediction
Both players are in decent working shape - Tituán Drogue especially, with consistent match practice and solid game-win numbers even against higher-ranked opponents. Felix Auger-Aliassime also tends to go long regardless of who he's playing. Their previous meeting is a good reference point: three sets, 30 games. On top of that, Drogue has hit his stride on Canadian courts - through qualifying, and now level in the head-to-head with the higher-ranked Luca Van Assche. The opposition here is a different level, but a total games over 21.5 against the Canadian is very much in play.
