Another tennis wedding incoming as Felix Auger-Aliassime becomes third top player this week to get engaged

Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime has announced his engagement on social media. Engagements and marriages in the off-season is a common practice in the tennis world and it seems that there is an addition to the list of engagements as well.

The 24-year-old shared a picture of his engagement with his girl friend Nina Ghaibi in a post on his official account on the social media platform Instagram. The caption of the picture was: "Couldn't have dreamt of a better forever.” Auger-Aliassime’s girlfriend, Ghaibi, is a Croatian citizen born in the United States. The couple met through an Australian tennis player Ajla Tomljanović.

Auger-Aliassime has recently had a mixed 2024 campaign. The Montreal-born star played in 53 matches, where he won 29 and suffered defeats on 24 occasions. His best appearance this year in a mega-event came at the Madrid Masters, where he finished as a runner-up after losing to Russia’s Andrey Rublev in the final with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.

In the Grand Slams, his season would be termed as a disappointment as despite playing in the main round of every major event, he failed to play in the quarterfinal or beyond in any one of them. His best appearance in a major event this year came in the French Open where he was knocked out after losing in the fourth round to world number three Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. Overall, the highlight of the season for Auger-Aliassime was his performance in the Pais Olympics where he performs well, both in the singles and mixed doubles category. He ended up winning mixed doubles bronze medal with his partner Gabriela Dabrowski.
