Felix Auger-Aliassime made an impressive run at this year's Paris Masters, reaching the final. Although he failed to overcome the last obstacle, Jannik Sinner, the Canadian tennis player can be proud and draw a lot of positives from his performance. His path to the final was filled with challenges, and the last opponent was certainly the toughest test for him.
The director of the Paris Masters, Cedric Pioline, reflected on the performance of the Canadian tennis player, but mostly on his comments before the start of the tournament.
Namely, he pointed out that three of the four semi-finalists commented on either the surface or the balls, stressing that reaching the semi-finals is a great result in itself.
Paris Masters director reacts to Felix's comments
Pioline placed special emphasis on Felix's comment that the balls were bad.
Adapting to new conditions is always a challenge, but the world of tennis brings such moments, and if you want to reach the trophy, it is important to be ready for different conditions.
Pioline hopes that the Paris Masters will attract the same attention in the future, delighted by the large number of visitors this year. Last year's numbers were significantly lower compared to this year's edition, so Pioline believes that next year they will take another important step and achieve even greater progress.
