"There’s never a day when you can’t improve somehow" - Auger-Aliassime focuses on positives

After appearing in the first edition of Tennis United, Felix Auger-Aliassime spoke to ATPTour.com about how he spends his time at the moment.

The young Canadian had a pretty good beginning of the season. Auger-Aliassime outplayed his opponents in 13 matches and lost only 9. Now, after the whole ATP Tour was suspended, he spoke about how he spends his time at the moment.

"The good thing is I’m holding up well. My spirits are good. Luckily everyone in my family is healthy. My grandparents are good, everyone is healthy. I’m happy about that. But I know it’s not the same for all the families out there, unfortunately, especially for grandparents and older people. I haven’t slowed down on my fitness, and I am keeping up with my routines. As tennis players, we don’t have many months to train and to get better physically, so I’m taking this time to do that. I can stay active and keep getting better, which is good," said Auger-Aliassime.

"There’s never a day when you can’t improve somehow. In every aspect of my life, personal or professional, I try to do things better and move forward in the right direction. Our family rarely has opportunities to be together for such an extended period because of my career. It’s probably going to go on for weeks and months more, so it’s good to feel like it’s back in the day when I was a kid, spending time with my sister and parents. We’re playing board games, having long discussions. Usually I’d need to go to sleep early because I have a match or training the next day. Now since I’m doing things on my own schedule and I can create more time, we are able to gather for longer dinners, and board games. I’ve been playing some Scrabble with my sister and mom, so that’s good, and it’s definitely bringing out my competitive side," Auger-Aliassime said.
