Auger-Aliassime calls ATP Doubles title a positive

Felix Auger-Aliassime won his first ATP title last week at the Rolex Masters in Paris after winning the doubles title with Hurkacz.

“It’s a good thing. I’m happy that I won a title regardless of whether it was in singles or doubles. Obviously, I’m still looking for that first singles title, but it will come when it has to come, when I deserve it.”

His next chance for success will come in Sofia where he will be one of the better-ranked players. Speaking of that he said:

“I don’t have a crystal ball. Every week is a chance for me. You play a tournament, you try to win. I’ve lost some first rounds this year, I’ve made some finals. It’s been up and down at times and yet I try my best ever week to go all the way. I will do the same here this week, but who knows what will happen. I will try to get through this first round and give myself the best chances [to win].”

It will be his last event this year in what was an up and down year for him. Asked about his future plans he simply responded with:

“In the end I just want to raise my level to one day be the best player I can be.”
