Despite the great sensations with which he reached the semifinal of the ATP Finals 2025, following a season's final stretch to emulate in the coming months, Felix Auger-Aliassime fell like a domino piece against a merciless Carlos Alcaraz, who secured the victory in two sets.
Although the Canadian may leave Turin with very positive feelings about his tennis level, the defeat against Carlos Alcaraz was devastating for Felix, who felt he couldn't do anything against him on the court. These were the words of Felix Auger-Aliassime in the press conference.
Felix Auger-Aliassime Surrenders to Sinner and Alcaraz
"The rankings don't lie. They are the two best players, that's a fact. They have different playing styles, but both exert extreme pressure on their opponent in different ways. It's not even necessary to explain how they play, we all know it. We've seen them play over the last few years. We know what to expect. They continue to prove their worth and play well, so we have to give them credit."
Felix Auger-Aliassime Believes in His Chances
"The future will tell. I have progressed a lot this year. Since I was a child, I have always believed it, and my ambition was to win Grand Slams and be world number one. I've had ups and downs, but honestly, despite everything, I always believed I could achieve it, and I still believe today. Now it's about doing the right things to improve. If I do it, we'll see how far I can go."
Carlos Alcaraz's Strength
"For a player who did everything well, I remember that three or four years ago, everyone said: 'The serve, the serve! Incredible serving!'. He did it wonderfully. The rest of his game has always been good. He can change the direction of both strokes. He pressures you in a different way, you don't know what to expect. He plays at a dizzying speed, I think that was the most challenging part."
