The 22-year-old Canadian will face the winner of Saturday’s second semifinal between French Open quarter-finalist Holger Rune of Denmark and Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut.
Bautista Agut is the last player to have got the better of Auger-Aliassime, beating him in Astana earlier this month — before the Canadian went on his spree by winning in Florence and Antwerp.

US Open champion Alcaraz is the first top-20 player Auger-Aliassime has beaten in his 12-match winning run.
The Canadian, though, has a hold over the 19-year-old Spaniard as this was his third victory over him in as many meetings.
Auger-Aliassime — who is chasing a spot in the season-ending ATP Finals — took the initiative from the start of the match, serving nine aces and hitting 23 winners with nine unforced errors.
Alcaraz had just one break point in Auger-Aliassime’s final service game, but he did not take it and two points later he was shaking hands with his victorious opponent at the net.
