Felix Auger-Aliassime
Makes Appearance at Dior Fashion Event in Paris
Canadian
tennis player Felix Auger-Aliassime, who became an ambassador for the French
fashion company two months ago, made an appearance at the Dior Homme
Spring/Summer 2024 event in Paris. He joined fellow young star Emma Raducanu,
who signed a contract with Dior shortly after her victory at the 2021 US Open.
The world
No. 12 was invited to the Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2024 showcase by Kim Jones,
the creative director of Dior Men's fashion. Auger-Aliassime walked the runway
at the Dior Men's Summer 2024 fashion show, dressed in an elegant suit. He also
shared photos of the event on his social media.
Despite his
involvement in the fashion world, Auger-Aliassime has had a challenging year on
the tennis court. Injuries have prevented him from reaching the level of
success that saw him rise to world No. 6 in 2022.
His last
consecutive wins came at the 2023 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, where he
reached the quarterfinals before losing to Carlos Alcaraz over three months
ago. In the race to qualify for the ATP Finals, he is currently ranked outside
the top 30.

Having not
played since the French Open, where he was defeated in the first round by Fabio
Fognini (4-6, 4-6, 3-6), Auger-Aliassime will enter Wimbledon without any grass
court preparation matches. Although he was initially entered to play at the
Halle Open, Canadian withdrew before his debut match against Dominic Thiem due
to a knee injury.
As the 11th
seed at Wimbledon, Auger-Aliassime will have the advantage of avoiding any
player ranked within the top 16 at least in the early rounds of the tournament.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
