Auger-Aliassime looking for new tennis coach

Felix Auger-Aliassime is looking for a new tennis coach after his six-year association with Guillaume Marx last month.

Auger-Aliassime will continue to work with French coach Frédéric Fontang while looking for a coach who has guided a player to a Grand Slam or has won one as a player.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while,” Auger-Aliassime said Monday during a videoconference call. “It was time for me to seek new advice and have new challenges to take me to the next level.

“The way the points system is structured makes the Grand Slams crucial for the standings,” explained Auger-Aliassime. “These four tournaments that have a higher priority than the other, and we are looking to find ways to put me in the best position for these four occasions, although I know that I shouldn’t neglect the rest of the calendar either.”
