Auger-Aliassime sets out aim for Tokyo triumph: 'If I could win a gold at the Olympics, it would be the ultimate achievement except the Grand Slam tournaments'
Tennis News
Felix Auger-Aliassime will likely be one of Canada's leading lights at the Olympics next year and he has set his stall out already for a potential Tokyo triumph.
In a recent interview, Auger-Aliassime said that Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have not won gold medals yet so for him it would be the ultimate achievement in many ways.
He said it is a dream that goes beyond tennis due to the crowd reaction and the scale-ability that goes with it.
"Federer and Djokovic have not won a gold medal yet. If I could win a gold at the Olympics, it would be the ultimate achievement except the Grand Slam tournaments. That would be the dream scenario. For me it's a dream that goes beyond tennis. You join a larger crowd and you interact with more people.
I remember I saw many matches, not just tennis but many other sports. Walking at the opening ceremony with the other Canadians would be great."
