Felix Auger-Aliassime has secured his place among the elite competitors at the Nitto ATP Finals, marking his status as the eighth and final automatic qualifier. While some may view him as an underdog in this prestigious event, his remarkable performance on indoor hard courts suggests that he poses a significant challenge to top players such as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in Turin. The 25-year-old Canadian’s form has been particularly impressive throughout the latter part of the season, following a strong semifinal run at the U.S. Open. He followed up that achievement with a title victory in Brussels and a commendable runner-up finish at the Paris Masters, where he was defeated by Sinner.
As of 2025, Auger-Aliassime boasts an impressive match record of 48 wins against 22 losses. His performance in the fall season post-U.S. Open has been particularly noteworthy, with a standout record of 14 wins and just 3 losses. This season’s triumphant campaign includes three titles: one each from Adelaide, Montpellier, and Brussels.
This marks Auger-Aliassime’s second appearance at the Nitto ATP Finals, where his previous campaign ended in the round-robin stage back in 2022, tallying a match record of 1 win and 2 losses.
In terms of matchups against his fellow qualifiers, his record stands at 18 wins to 22 losses. Against the formidable Carlos Alcaraz, he has faced off 7 times, with Alcaraz holding a slight edge at 4 wins to Auger-Aliassime’s 3. His encounters with Jannik Sinner are similarly competitive, with Sinner winning 3 out of 5 matches. Notably, he has a key win over Ben Shelton, defeating him in their only encounter, while his matchup against Taylor Fritz has yielded 3 losses to his account. He holds a positive record against Alex de Minaur, with 4 victories against 2 losses, and has split matches evenly with Lorenzo Musetti at 4 wins apiece.
Given his recent trajectory, Auger-Aliassime’s blend of talent and determination may well see him make a significant impact at this year’s finals. As he enters the competition, expectations are high for his performance as he seeks to establish himself further in the upper echelons of professional tennis.
