The young Canadian continued to impress, and has not dropped a set now since the second of the tournament.
Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada returns a shot during his Men's Singles third round match against Corentin Moutet of France on Day Six of the 2020 US Open at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 05, 2020 in the Queens borough of New Y

Felix Auger-Aliassime continued his impressive form at the US Open, beating France's Corentin Moutet 6-1, 6-0, 6-4.
The Canadian even had time to wheel out some trick shots, stunning his demoralised opponent with a tweener in the second set.
"I'm here to impose myself," Auger-Aliassime said afterwards.
"Outside the court I'm a pretty kind person but once I step on court, it's the best man that wins. Only one survives. You've got to step it up with that animal and killer instinct."
The 15th seed has not dropped a set since the first round, when Thiago Monteiro took the second in their four-set clash.
And he is the first man to be born after the year 2000 to make it to this stage of a Grand Slam in the Open Era.
He joins compatriots Vasek Pospisil and Denis Shapovalov in the fourth round - the most ever Canadian men to reach the landmark.
