The young Canadian has reached five ATP singles finals, including successive finals in Rotterdam and Marseille this year. Furthermore, he has cracked the Top 20, reaching a career-high of World No.17 in October 2019. Despite his success, Auger-Aliassime has maintained his humility and stresses that he'd like to leave a good example for the future generation.

"People will get to know me over the years and probably know that I want to leave a good example for the generation after," Auger-Aliassime said. "I want to inspire kids to get interested in the sport, but further than that, just be a good citizen."

The 19-year old revealed that he always had aspirations of becoming a professional tennis player as a child. He added that his self-belief helped drive him to achieve his current success today.

"Since the day I decided I wanted to play tennis as a career, I never looked back." Auger-Aliassime disclosed. "I was pretty lucky to get results when I was still young… It's not the same for every player, but I think the expectations were high from myself and from the people around me since I'm very young.

Now, I'm just living my dream. I never thought of doing anything else, which is weird to say to other teenagers that I see who are finding themselves not really knowing what they want to do. There was no guarantee that I would make it, obviously, but at the same time, I never doubted myself that that is what I wanted to do."
