"Sorry for you Jiri, you'll be back": Felix Auger-Aliassime shows true class after walk-over win at Madrid Open

Jiri Lehecka showed his class during his walk-over win over Daniil Medvedev and the same courtesy was afforded towards the Czech ace by Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Madrid Open.
Auger-Aliassime sent his support to his opponent after the Czech ace was forced to retire through injury. The former who for a long-time was a nearly man in winning titles no mind reaching ATP Masters 1000 finals is into his first. He has only won three times though. Jakub Mensik, Jannik Sinner and now Lehecka handed him walkovers.
This time it was locked in at 3-3 when Lehecka who suffered with back injuries prior to the tournament decided to call it quits. "Sorry for you Jiri, you'll be back," Felix Auger-Aliassime wrote on the camera.
In a coincidence, Lehecka also did the same after defeating Medvedev through walkover. So very much a mirror image and a classy way to end the tie. "Get well soon Daniil,” Lehecka wrote. Auger-Aliassime faces Andrey Rublev in tomorrow's final.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
