Felix Auger-Aliassime he has already defeated three times in five matches Carlos Alcaraz. The Canadian believes he can represent a threat to the Spaniard even on clay – a surface on which they have never met – and sent an important message on the eve of the match valid for access to the quarter-finals of Roland Garros.
Auger-Aliassime is not afraid of Carlos Alcaraz: the message from the Canadian tennis player
“It will be the first time we face each other on clay, so it will be a different but equally complicated challenge. Carlitos is still one of the best in the world, I think he is at the same level as Novak Djokovic And Jannik Sinner.
Every day that passes I feel better and I believe more and more in my tennis. I know what’s at stake, I know the challenge is difficult, but I have several reasons to think I can beat him,” the Canadian said at the press conference.
“The important thing will be to stay true to my style of play. I have to try to let my strengths prevail, be the one who drives the pace during rallies and ensure that my tactical approach is the right one.”
On the end of the collaboration with Toni NadalAuger-Aliassime finally revealed: “I have a lot of respect for Toni and we maintain a good relationship. Some time ago I decided that I wanted to have a smaller team, with my usual coach, my physical trainer and my father.
I learned a lot from Toni in relation to the life philosophy he applied to tennis and his experiences with Rafa. I really liked her approach that you have to push yourself every day, be humble in difficult times.
Now I am able to accept difficulties better and learn more from defeats. All this thanks to his approach.”
