Felix Auger-Aliassime brought back the burn wearing the flaming ball graphic on his Nike shorts a throwback nod to Andre Agassi's black-and-lemon yellow Nike gear from 1990—10 years before Auger-Aliassime was born.

Auger-Aliassime looked sharp and played a clean match dressing down Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-4, 6-1 in his Western & Southern Open opener at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

The 20th-ranked Canadian will face either Lorenzo Sonego or wild card Tennys Sandgren next.

American Tommy Paul also sported the retro-Agassi style.
