Young tennis star from Canada Felix Auger-Aliassime looks back at his 2023 run in a recent interview on Eurosport. There have been a lot of speculations about the Canadian and his connections with Toni Nadal as his coach. In the interview, the 23-year-old clears the air around this situation.

Felix joined hands with Rafael Nadal’s uncle Toni Nadal back in 2021. For a couple of tournaments, the whole world saw a change in the Canadian who seemed to be playing extremely well before suffering a hip injury. However, things took a weird turn for the 23-year-old when his coach refused to sit in his box during his match against Rafa.

We continue and we will even do again what we did in 2021 and 2022: the objective is for his presence to be more recurring, for him to come a little more often. With Frédéric, everything continues well. At this moment, I love how my team works.
