"He plays at a dizzying speed," says Auger-Aliassime about Alcaraz

Félix Auger-Aliassime had no choice but to acknowledge the superiority of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner after his defeat in the semifinals of the ATP Finals against the Spaniard on Saturday night.

As expected, the 2025 ATP Finals will feature the world's two best players in the final this Sunday, namely Carlos Alcaraz against Jannik Sinner. Auger-Aliassime, who was defeated by both players in this tournament, and by Alcaraz on Saturday night in the semifinals in Turin, fought hard but ultimately lost in two sets. He discussed both players in a press conference after his elimination from the Masters.

"The rankings don't lie. Alcaraz and Sinner are the two best players, that's a fact. They have different playing styles, but both exert extreme pressure on their opponent, each in their own way. No need to explain how they play, we all know.

We've seen them play in recent years. We know what to expect. They continue to prove themselves and play well, so credit must be given to them. For a player who was doing everything well, I remember three or four years ago, everyone was saying: 'He has an incredible serve!'

The rest of his game has always been good. He can change the direction of both shots. He puts pressure on you in a different way, you don't know what to expect. He plays at a dizzying speed, I think that was the most difficult part.

The future will tell if I can beat those players. I have improved a lot this year. Since my childhood, I have always believed in 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 do it, and I still believe it today. Now it's about doing what's necessary to improve myself. If I do that, we'll see how far I can go," Auger-Aliassime assured Punto de Break.
