Leylah Fernandez and Felix Auger-Aliassime have won the 2023 Tennis Canada Excellence Awards in different categories.
Both are often termed as the most highly-rated players in the women’s and men’s categories currently playing in the country. Despite not having a great year at the highest level, Fernandez and Auger-Aliassime won the Player of the Year and Singles Player of the Year, respectively.
The development was announced by Tennis Canada in a post on their official account on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter. Fernandez, who is a one-time runner-up in the Grand Slam, played in the main round of all the four major tournaments in 2023 but could not manage to qualify for the third round or beyond in any of the competitions.
She knocked out of the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon after losing the second-round tie. In the US Open, the 21-year-old was knocked out after losing the first-round tie to Russia’s Ekaterina Alexandrova with a score of 7-6, 5-7, 6-4.
On the other hand, Aliassime also played in the main round of all four Grand Slams and only managed to qualify for the fourth round or beyond just once. His best outing came in the Australian Open where he was knocked out after losing the fourth-round clash to Czech Republic’s Jiri Lehecka with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 7-6.
