Auger-Aliassime: "It was quite complicated to manage everything".

Félix Auger-Aliassime disappointed at home.

After a high-level Olympic tournament, the Canadian didn't shine in Montreal, losing to Flavio Cobolli (6-3, 6-2). Faced with a very confident opponent (finalist in Washington) who was already used to the surface, the 23-year-old was unable to do anything, especially given the febrile level on offer.

Questioned in the press conference, Auger-Aliassime confessed to having had difficulty recovering from the efforts made in Paris, although this was no excuse: "Of course, I can't say I was as fresh as I would have liked, either physically or mentally.

It was quite complicated to manage everything, but that's no excuse. I can't come here and sit here and say I should have done this or that.

Right from the start, I knew it was going to be a challenge. Things didn't turn out the way I'd hoped, so I had to accept that and move on.

I'd say the main reason for the defeat was my service.

My serve was terrible, it was very difficult, I just couldn't control it. It's time to improve."
