It seems that Felix Auger-Aliassime may not have the best relationship with clay courts, although we have had this false impression with other players who were much more dangerous on other surfaces. No, clay is not the favorite for the Canadian, but that does not mean he cannot play well on it. This was defined by the player himself during the Media Day of the Rome Masters 1000, where he still does not know who his first-round opponent will be.
"For me, it has never been a problem to move on clay courts. I believe I have the athleticism, footwork, and control when sliding to play well; it is more about tactical adjustments. I base much of my game on the serve, but on clay, the ball comes back more often. Sometimes I can make mistakes because the ball returns more than it does on a hard or indoor court, so you have to accept that, even when you serve well, the ball will come back more often, and you will have to engage in more exchanges," evaluated the Montreal native.
