Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, the No 3 seed, reached the last 4 of the Montpellier Open by winning against French wildcard Harold Mayot 7-5, 6-1 at the Sud de France Arena on Friday evening.

Auger-Aliassime, ranked No 30, will play second seed Alexander Bublik next in what will be his 26th tour-level semi-final, and his first since winning the Basel title in October last year.

Mayot, ranked No 144, defeated wildcard Lucas Pouille (6-4, 7-5) and Benoit Paire (6-1, 6-4) earlier in the tournament.
