Felix
Auger-Aliassime obtained his driver's license while recovering from an injury.
The
22-year-old tennis player recently withdrew from the Monte-Carlo Masters due to
a left knee injury. During his recovery time, he took the opportunity to obtain
his driver's license in Monaco, where he has been living since 2019. The last
few weeks have not been easy for the Canadian player, as he has yet to compete
in a clay tournament. However, he found a positive side to his time away from
the courts.
"Well,
the only good thing about being injured is that I finally got to get my
licence," wrote Felix on Instagram.
World No. 9
will return to the courts at the Madrid Open, a tournament in which he reached
the quarterfinals in 2022, falling to Alexander Zverev. The Spanish tournament
will feature Auger-Aliassime as the 8th seed, and the absences of Novak
Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have already been officially confirmed.
