Canadian tennis star Félix Auger-Aliassime, currently ranked 13th in the world, has offered insights into why he considers Greek powerhouse Stefanos Tsitsipas his primary competitor on the ATP Tour. Auger-Aliassime highlighted that their intense rivalry stretches back to their junior careers, consistently adding a unique spark to their matchups.
“Who is my main rival? I would probably say Stefanos Tsitsipas,” Auger-Aliassime stated. “We have a long-standing rivalry. With some players, like [Daniil] Medvedev, it took me a long time to get the upper hand. But with Tsitsipas, we’ve always had an even fight, exchanging wins since we were juniors. This rivalry has spanned years, and he always brings a special spark to our matches.”
The competitive nature of their encounters is clearly reflected in their head-to-head record. The two tennis talents have faced each other 10 times on the professional circuit, with Tsitsipas currently leading their personal rivalry with seven victories to Auger-Aliassime`s three.
