"Left it all out there, but Andrey deserved this one": Felix Auger-Aliassime reflects after resurgent run to Madrid Open final

Felix
Auger-Aliassime shared a reflection and images after losing the final of the
Madrid Open against Andrey Rublev by 6-4, 5-7, 5-7 in his first Masters 1000
final of his career. The Canadian had luck along the way as he advanced through
three rounds due to walkovers.
The
23-year-old tennis player had not been experiencing the best of times lately,
having dropped out of the top 30 and being outside seeded positions. The former
world No. 6 can draw positive conclusions from his time in Madrid, considering
that he climbed 15 positions and returned to the top 20.
Auger-Aliassime congratulates Rublev
The Madrid
runner-up dedicated his congratulations to Rublev, who secured his second
Masters 1000 title, both on clay, and reached world No. 6. The Russian obtained
his 16th professional title after a great comeback in almost three hours of the
match, extending the head-to-head to 5-1 in his favor.
After the
final, Auger-Aliassime shared images of the event on social media and extended
his congratulations to Rublev for another title in his career:
“Left it
all out there yesterday but Andrey deserved this one. Nothing but respect to be
given for you as an athlete and a person. I’m proud to see my game moving in
the right direction and motivated to see where the rest of this season takes me,”
he wrote.
