ATP Finals Auger-Aliassime Musetti Paris

Down a set and in great difficulty, Félix Auger-Aliassime dug deep into his mental resources to tame Daniel Altmaier in three sets at the Paris Masters 1000.

Nothing seemed able to disrupt the Canadian. Altmaier, solid and precise, was leading by a set. But Félix Auger-Aliassime never stopped believing. Carried by a rediscovered intensity, the Canadian turned the match around, winning 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 after more than two hours of battle.

After defeating Comesaña (6-7, 6-3, 6-3) and Muller (5-7, 7-6, 7-6), this is the third consecutive match won in three sets by Auger-Aliassime at the Rolex Paris Masters. Proof of his resilience.

Furthermore, by passing the symbolic milestone of 100 combined wins in Masters 1000 and Grand Slam tournaments, the 25-year-old player becomes the third player born since 2000 to achieve this feat, behind Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. An impressive statistic that highlights his precocity and consistency at the highest level.

Thanks to this victory, Félix is now only 290 points behind Lorenzo Musetti in the Race to Turin. Currently ninth in the "Race," he could overtake the Italian with a strong performance in Nanterre.

For a spot in the semifinals, he will face the surprise Shanghai champion: Valentin Vacherot.
