Felix Auger Aliassime He has been waiting for years to take that big blow that will consolidate him at the top. After much back and forth, it seems that the Canadian is now heading in the right direction. The young Canadian chats about how he comes to Wimbledon 2024who is your favorite of the Big 3 and how do you see the new generation with Carlos Alcaraz y Jannik Sinner as leaders.
Your favorite of the Big 3
“All three of them are amazing in their own way. As for who is harder to play against, it depends on the surface and a few other factors. Roger was the one who could really knock you out in an hour and you didn’t even feel like you did that bad. Then you see Rafa on clay and that’s the biggest challenge there is in our sport. I also love his mentality, everyone should aspire to it,” explains Felix Auger Aliassime in an interview with Tennis365.
“We are lucky to have had these three great champions in our sport, but I love Roger. He is pure class, an incredible guy both on and off the track. I have had the opportunity to talk to him a few times off the track and he has always been very kind to me. Then, when he met my family, he showed that he is a real guy. When he saw my girlfriend, he would say hello, he remembered everyone.”
About Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner
“You could say it’s pretty open now after this period where three or four people were so dominant, but at the same time we have two guys who are also breaking away from the rest of the group. Full credit to Carlos and Jannik, because they’ve been playing some incredible tennis, and it’s up to the rest of us to catch up with them. Carlos is a bit of a prodigy and Sinner’s progression has been fantastic. It’s a credit to his team and everyone around him. I hope to have a progression like his and start competing for the big titles.”
Looking forward to Wimbledon
“It’s been a tough year for me,” explains the Canadian player. “Now I’m back, in the top 20, I’ve won back-to-back matches and I feel like I’m getting closer to where I want to be. Wimbledon is here and I love this tournament. My dream is to win it one day, but the grass season is very short and that’s difficult. If you come out of the clay season with some discomfort, you don’t have time to rest.” Confident of playing well on grass, Felix is already putting the finishing touches to kick-start his campaign at this 2024 Wimbledon, in which he makes his debut against Thanasi Kokkinakis.
