Félix Auger-Aliassime climbed to a career-high ranking of No. 4 on the ATP after his quarterfinal appearance at Roland Garros, surpassing his previous best of No. 5. The 25-year-old Canadian is now tied for the second-highest ranking ever attained by a Canadian player in either ATP or WTA rankings history, according to Tennis.com.
How did Auger-Aliassime perform at Roland Garros?
Auger-Aliassime reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros for the first time in his career. The fourth seed defeated Alejandro Tabilo 6-3, 7-5, 6-1 in the fourth round, then fell to 10th seed Flavio Cobolli 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, according to reports from The Star and UBITENNIS. Cobolli went on to reach the semifinals.
What makes this ranking historic for Canada?
Only two other Canadians have ever reached the ATP or WTA top four. Milos Raonic peaked at No. 3 on the ATP rankings in 2016 after reaching the Wimbledon final, while Bianca Andreescu, Canada's first Grand Slam champion, reached No. 4 on the WTA in 2019 after her US Open victory. Auger-Aliassime is now tied with Andreescu at No. 4, according to Tennis.com.
What else did Auger-Aliassime achieve at the tournament?
By reaching the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, Auger-Aliassime became the first Canadian man ever to reach the quarterfinals or better at all four Grand Slams in his career. He had previously reached the quarterfinals or better at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open.
Despite his ranking climb, Auger-Aliassime expressed frustration after his loss to Cobolli. According to Puntodebreak.com, he said he felt he was not playing at the level he wanted and that he had not progressed as much as he hoped during the season.
