ATP
After making his debut at the year-ending ATP Finals in 2022, Felix Auger-Aliassime has revealed he would like to make a return to the elite event this season.
The Canadian played some of the best tennis of his young career during the 2022 season, winning four titles in Rotterdam, Florence, Antwerp and Basel. His stellar string of performances culminated with him making his first appearance at the season-ending ATP Finals Masters event, a goal Auger-Aliassime would like to replicate in 2025.

Competing at the ATP Finals is attainable, says Auger-Aliassime
Although Auger-Aliassime suffered a disappointing first round exit at last week's Indian Wells event, the 24-year old has had a solid 2025 season thus far. Auger-Aliassime has won two titles this year, lifting trophies at Adelaide and Montpellier. Furthermore, he finished runner-up in Dubai and made a semifinal appearance at the Qatar Open.
With more than half of the season left on the ATP calendar, Auger-Aliassime believes he is on the right path to achieving one of his goals for the year. The former World No.6 revealed he would like to return to the ATP Finals, and compete alongside the elite stars on tour.
"I feel more balanced and clear-headed," said Auger-Aliassime in his press conference prior to the Miami Open. "I didn't expect to fall so low, but I kept working hard and believing in my abilities. I've been very disciplined in all the aspects necessary to be a good tennis player and I'm proud of that. I've managed to stay almost always in the top 30 over the years, overcoming physical, tennis and mental challenges.
"Today I'm reaping the rewards of that work, I feel like I'm playing my best tennis again. I know that if I maintain the consistency of those first months throughout the season and am able to put in some great performances in one or more major tournaments, I have a chance to compete in the ATP Finals again. That's definitely a realistic goal for me this year."

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - 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
