“Federer, Nadal and Djokovic push their best level to the limit”

Felix Auger-Aliassime, one of the young pearls of the ATP circuit, analyzed her expectations and the one of the tennis players of the well-known as NextGen to relieve the great figures of tennis in the record of the Grand Slam of the calendar.

The 19-year-old Canadian tennis player together with Mats Wilander and Boris Becker discussed the steps that the youngest players on the circuit have to take. “Obviously people need to see new faces winning new tournaments. I'm part of it and there are players a little older than me who already they have been close to doing it like Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev or Dominic Thiem “.

However, Auger-Aliassime points out that the main obstacle for these triumphs to come is the high level of play that Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic continue to display. “We have to keep pushing but I think the hardest part is the level that these three guys are still playing at. They are pushing to the limit how much they can sustain at this level. I think they are always breaking barriers when it comes to playing well despite their high age. “

A similar opinion has Mats Wilander, who wants to see the young snowshoes shining in the big dates on the calendar. “We need young people, people like you, to start winning these Grand Slam tournaments. “

Auger-Aliassime also reviewed his passion for tennis and the tension on the court between the two players when it comes to playing matches. “I really like the history of tennis, I like the way of playing. I feel like I need to bring interesting things to the court, but I'm not sure how to do it, because I like dueling. I like the tension when two players compete. You have to respect the sports history, the duels, the fights between two gladiators on the track. I think this is the essence of tennis. I'm a big fan of this. “
