The Canadian started slowly, losing the first set to the Italian, but fought back in the second and put away any doubts in the third. The final score was 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.
Felix Auger Aliassime goes on to play lucky loser Dominik Koepfer in the second round, the pair have never met on the court before.
