Auger-Aliassime: "I don't enjoy criticizing jobs I don't do".
Felix Auger-Aliassime is having an interesting 2024 season. After an extremely disappointing 2023, the Canadian is gradually returning to a solid level of play.
However, he is still a long way from regaining the status he enjoyed when he was anchored in the world's top 10.
The target of a number of criticisms, the current world No. 18 was kind enough to address them: "I understand the criticism, to be honest. I don't really have a problem with it. What I don't like is criticism where people don't bring anything concrete to the table, or don't really come up with a solution.
Personally, I don't enjoy criticizing jobs I don't do. I don't try to tell people how to do things if I don't do them. But if I talk to someone else about tennis, because that's probably the thing I'm best at, I can give constructive criticism or advice.
But gratuitous criticism, without really any examples or basis, is not something I'm really a fan of ."
On the tennis front, he is set to kick off his Gstaad tournament this Thursday against Yannick Hanfmann.
