Felix Auger-Aliassime

Le Québécois Félix Auger-Aliassime a pris rendez-vous avec l'Espagnol Rafael Nadal au quatrième tour des Internationaux de tennis de France.

Déjà confronté à un joueur tenace, Auger-Aliassime a dû composer avec la présence d’un spectateur plutôt désagréable à son endroit durant les premiers moments de son match. Le gagnant a profité de sa deuxième balle de match pour réaliser un bris décisif et confirmer sa victoire acquise en exactement trois heures de jeu. Le Québécois Félix Auger-Aliassime a pris rendez-vous avec l’Espagnol Rafael Nadal au quatrième tour des Internationaux de tennis de France, en disposant vendredi du Serbe Filip Krajinovic en trois manches de 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) et 7-5.

Tennis Canada has been in search of its rightful heir in the elite of Men's tennis since Milos Raonic. Felix Auger-Aliassime is the answer.

At the 2022 Australian Open, Auger-Aliassime made a brave run into the quarterfinals where he once again faced Daniil Medvedev. Medvedev again won the encounter in five sets. The road to the title would get no easier with Djokovic and Alacaraz waiting in the line next. At Roland Garros, the Canadian is seeded No.9 and drawn into the top quarter with Djokovic and Nadal. He escaped a first round scare, being down two sets to love against an unseeded Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas. He eventually won the encounter 2-6 2-6 6-1 6-3,6-3. Auger-Aliassime helped Canada clinch the title with a straight sets win over Roberto Bautista Agut. This feat also helped him achieve a career high ranking of No.9 in the world. Later at Wimbledon, he reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal with a five-set win over Alexander Zverev. He eventually fell to finalist Matteo Berrettini. Auger-Aliassime had his maiden Grand Slam semifinal run later that year at the US Open, where he beat Roberto Bautista Agut, Frances Tiafoe, and Carlos Alcaraz along the way. Auger-Aliassime helped Canada reach the finals with Round Robin wins over Alexander Zverev and Cameron Norrie. Shapovalov had earlier defeated Pablo Carreno Busta in the first rubber of the finals. Following the retirement of one of his idols, Jo Wilfried Tsonga at the French Open a couple of days ago, Auger-Aliassime said, “It’s a weird feeling because I can in a way relate to that and put myself in that position where like one day I’m going to play my last match, my last game, my last point. At the 2022 French Open, it all comes down to Auger-Aliassime to carry the country’s honor as his compatriot Shapovalov exited the tournament in the opening round despite an impressive run at Rome, where he beat Rafael Nadal. Djokovic went on to win the tournament. Auger-Aliassime entered the Top 10 in November after his run into the semifinals at the Stockholm Open. He finished the year ranked No.11 in the world. On the grass of Halle, Felix Auger-Aliassime faced his childhood idol and legend of the game, Roger Federer, with whom he coincidentally shares the same birthday (August 8th). He stunned Federer in a 3 set comeback to secure the biggest win of his career. Having turning pro at age 18 with a promising future, Auger-Aliassime had a rocky road towards winning his first single’s title.

Lui, après un break, il a changé de braquet et il a gagné en confiance. Depuis le début de notre travail en commun, nous avons évoqué la possibilité que j'affronte Rafa à un moment donné. Je pense que Toni observe le match depuis une zone neutre. Nous savons tous où il excelle et je ne pense pas que Toni puisse me dire quoi que ce soit de nouveau sur Nadal. Mais on en a parlé, oui.

However, even though they seemed to be neck and neck throughout the contest, Auger-Aliassime’s power game was the determining factor in deciding the outcome. 26 seed Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands in straight sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. 55 in the world, each put in a solid performance throughout a match that, although it was settled in three sets, lasted 3 hours and 4 minutes!

Anisimova menait 6-7 (7), 6-2, 3-0 lorsque Muchova a lancé la serviette. Nadal, lui, a éliminé le Néerlandais Botic Van De Zandschulp 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. Mais c’est évident que ce sera très difficile.»

He's given me confidence I can reach the best levels,” FAA, who won on Friday at Roland Garros, says of his coach Toni Nadal.

“If I miss a point, he’s going to tell me you could do this or that, or watch the balls more, or try this, technically speaking. “We worked a lot on my movement on the court, my intensity of footwork, the way I can now move,” Auger-Aliassime said. “I was serving really well,” FAA said. In the two tiebreakers, which essentially decided the result, Auger-Aliassime served impeccably, returned aggressively, and took over the rallies with his forehand.

Alcaraz is now the youngest man in French Open's fourth round since Djokovic in 2006, getting there with a display of deft drop shots and other slick strokes in a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 victory over 21-year-old American Sebastian Korda under the lights at Court Philippe Chatrier. Alcaraz now goes up against No. 21 Karen Khachanov, whose 6-2, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 win made No. 10 Cameron Norrie the first of the top 12 men's seeds to be sent home.

RAFAEL NADAL will face Felix Auger-Aliassime for the first time since his uncle and former coach started working with the Canadian.

I think we can all say that regardless of what happens tomorrow, I think we have to see like it's much bigger than just this. “Yeah, from my part it's another match, another opportunity to try to play, you know, a good match and win, but of course it's very difficult,” Auger-Aliassime continued. “And actually now he's present here in this Grand Slam.

Nadal secured another break of serve to lead 4-2 and soon nabbed the opener.

Depuis le début du tournoi, le Grec a toutes les misères du monde à se défaire de Lorenzo Musetti et Zdenek Kolar puisqu'il passe 7:40 sur le terrain. Marino manque de repères face aux meilleures puisque son classement de 115e ne lui permet pas de jouer à ce niveau sur une base régulière. Peu importe, il faut continuer d'essayer parce que son talent est grand et sa force de frappe adéquate pour bien survivre dans l'ère des puissants. Notre Canadienne est au cœur du débat avec ses schémas d'attaque qui déstabilisent l'Américaine. D'ailleurs elle s'offre HUIT balles de bris à 2-2, mais sans en profiter. Intéressant de constater qu'en ronde des 16, Leylah affrontera la puissante Amanda Anisimova. À Indian Wells en mars dernier, l'Américaine abandonne après le 2e set après avoir eu plusieurs opportunités de gagner le match. Il faut donc que Leylah utilise la même stratégie en remettant beaucoup de balles en jeu et cette fois dès le début et pendant toute la durée du match. Essoufflée et nerveuse est la Belge tandis que Bianca retrouve ses forces pour attaquer dans l'échange et en général bien mieux partir le point en retour. Je savais aussi qu'elle n'en aurait pas une tonne et qu'il faudrait faire preuve d'opportunisme. Cependant, cela n'enlève en rien la bravoure qu'elle démontre alors qu'elle tire de l'arrière 6-2 et 5-1. À la dernière manche, le spectacle est grandiose. Félix est solide puisqu'il utilise bien ses dons principaux, le service et coup droit tout en étant le plus stable émotivement à la fin de chacune des manches. C'est au tour de FAA de lui en faire voir de toutes les couleurs. Heureusement que FAA se retrouve au début de la 3e manche. J'espère que je ne manque pas de respect envers le grand champion que j'aime tant, mais il va falloir que Félix l'amène à souffrir en le gardant le plus longtemps possible sur le terrain.

Auger-Aliassime has had Toni Nadal in his corner since April last year but this is the first time they have faced his nephew Rafael.

But honestly, for me, it’s zero problem, and I know he wants the best for me.” “I know he wants the best for me. I think we all know what he does well!” Auger-Aliassime says. “I don’t know what’s gonna happen, if he’s gonna stay in the box or not, but I don’t care. I know what’s the feelings that we have between each other. “For me it’s very simple.

Toni Nadal speaks to ATPTour.com ahead of Rafael Nadal and Felix Auger-Aliassime's fourth round match at Roland Garros.

If he continues to improve, I think he will be a candidate for the title here in the coming years," he warned. "I'm honest," noted Nadal, "I'll go out to play my match and do things in the best way possible every day, without thinking about anything else. "I'd like my nephew to win Roland Garros," admitted Toni. "Unfortunately, to do that, he has to beat Felix. I feel very comfortable with him, I'm lucky to be working with a player who is one of the best people on Tour, and also a good tennis player, but I'm Rafael's family," he continued. "I also don't have the slightest doubt that, even though he's working with a different person, it's difficult for him not to want me to win. "I am in no doubt that Toni wants the best for me," Nadal said later. I'm not going to sit in a box.

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic can setup their French Open QF clash if they can get past Felix Auger-Aliassime and Diego Schwartzman.

Like Norrie, the Russian will enjoy playing Alcaraz more in slower, heavier conditions.
