The rising Canadian star Felix Auger-Aliassime has registered for 2022 in Halle, according to Michal Samulski. The 21-year-old Auger Aliassime is about to make his second appearance on the grass pitches in Halle.
Auger-Aliassime made his debut in Halle last June and almost won the title. Auger-Aliassime had a strong run before his campaign ended in a narrow semi-final defeat to Ugo Humbert.
On the way to the final in Halle, Auger-Aliassime beat the 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer. Auger-Aliassime was then the favorite to beat Humbert in the semi-finals, but he surprisingly lost.
Auger-Aliassime could play against Federer again
Federer underwent knee surgery at the end of the season last August. Recently, Auger-Aliassime said Federer and Rafael Nadal will always be hard to beat.
“It would come at some point. A generation change. Novak is still number one and Roger and Rafa will see them come back, ”said the world number 11, according to Tennishead. “But they have done it so many times in the past in their careers.
They’ll be hard to beat while they’re playing. “In tournaments like this, where the average age of the top eight seeded players is 23, you know it’s going to be fierce competition.
But as a young player you try to establish yourself with the top players who will dominate in the coming year or who will win the big titles. For me the challenge is great, but at the same time the motivation is great to try to play well in order to end the season and compete with the best players in the world. “
Last week Auger-Aliassime suffered a surprising defeat against Dominik Koepfer in the first round of the Paris Masters. “My level of play was low. I served poorly from start to finish.
I tried, but I was at a very low level, so I’m really disappointed, “said Auger-Aliassime after the defeat. Auger-Aliassime will play at the Stockholm Open this week.
