Auger-Aliassime labels injury rule a disgrace after stormy win

Canadian tennis player Felix Auger-Aliassime criticized the ATP's injury rule after winning a closely contested five-set match against Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at Wimbledon. The incident occurred in the fourth set when Fokina injured his ankle during a critical moment, prompting a time-out to call a physio. Auger-Aliassime called the rule 'a disgrace,' arguing that allowing an opponent to pause during a service game to seek medical attention gives them an unfair advantage. He suggested the rule should require players to forfeit all points until they can call the physio, rather than stopping the game mid-point. The match ended with Auger-Aliassime advancing to the quarter-finals, where he will face Novak Djokovic.
