MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Two Canadian men have reached the Australian Open quarterfinals for the first time. Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov are enjoying quite a run in the Australian sun. Auger-Aliassime wore down 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic 2-6, 7-6 (7), 6-2, 7-6 (4) to join Shapovalov in the last eight. The Canadians tuned up for the year’s first Grand Slam tournament by combining to win the ATP Cup in Sydney earlier this month.
