The Canadian, who qualified for the ATP Finals for the first time, got off to a poor start when he lost to Casper Ruud. However, he quickly rebounded, defeating 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal to score his first career victory over the Spaniard. Unfortunately, Auger-Aliassime fell to American Taylor Fritz in his final group-stage encounter, thus ending his run at the elite year-ending event.

In an interview with We Are Tennis,  Auger-Aliassime disclosed that he was really pleased with how he achieved all of his goals this year.

"It's a great satisfaction, it's maybe even the first year where I can really say that I have achieved all my goals and even better," said Auger-Aliassime. "When I look at the season in a whole and tell myself that I won my titles and that I qualified for the Masters, that I am now sixth in the world, I am very pleased."
