Felix Auger-Aliassime had a season characterized by numerous ups and downs in the first part, in which he was unable to express his best tennis in the most important tournaments also due to some physical problems. The Canadian ace regained confidence at the end of the summer, reaching his second career semifinal in a Major at the US Open.
His run in New York was really brilliant, considering that he also eliminated one of the huge favorites for the victory such as Alexander Zverev. Felix had to face former world number 1 Jannik Sinner in the semifinals at Flushing Meadows and put in an excellent performance, putting the defending champion in serious trouble and proving once again that he can put anyone in trouble when he is at the top of his shape.
The tournaments on the indoor hard courts have further enhanced Aliassime's game as it had happened in the past and it is no coincidence that he was one of the brightest players in the latter part of 2025. The Canadian talent lifted the trophy in Brussels, reached the final at the Paris Masters 1000 thanks to a sensational run and qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin surpassing Italian star Lorenzo Musetti as number 8 in the ATP Race.

Despite the accumulated fatigue, Auger was also good at the 'Masters' where he reached the semifinals losing only to world number 1 Carlitos Alcaraz. If she continues to play this way and finds more regularity, Aliassime has all the skills she needs to be a factor in 2026.
During the latest episode of the 'Nothing Major' podcast, former American champion John Isner praised the Canadian star: Shout out to Felix and the year he had. 50+ wins and he finished top five in the world. Months ago we talked about if Felix is having a good year or not having a good year.
I expect him to have a very solid next year, because he is one of the most professional guys on Tour and now he has got a taste of this event at the end of the year, he is going to want to get back there for sure.
