Felix Auger-Aliassime stays at Estoril Open to prepare for Rome just like Fonseca after disappointing loss

Auger Aliassime

Felix Auger-Aliassime has chosen to extend his stay at the Estoril Open, using the tournament’s facilities to fine-tune his game before heading to the Rome Masters. The Canadian star, known for his powerful baseline play and athleticism, is focusing on sharpening his clay-court skills ahead of the next ATP 1000 event.

Auger-Aliassime’s decision mirrors that of Paulo Fonseca, who also opted to remain in Estoril for additional training. The slower clay courts provide an ideal setting for refining movement and shot selection, allowing players to adjust their game before facing the challenges of Rome.

However, Auger-Aliassime’s time in Estoril did not go as planned. He suffered an early exit in his debut match against qualifier Andrea Pellegrino, losing 7-5, 6-4. This defeat extended his clay-court struggles, marking his fifth consecutive loss on the surface.

Fonseca also faced disappointment in Estoril, falling in the first round to Jesper De Jong in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5. Despite the setback, both players remain focused on their preparations for Rome, aiming to regain momentum and improve their performances on clay.

As they head into the next phase of the season, Auger-Aliassime and Fonseca will look to turn their fortunes around and make a strong impact in the upcoming tournaments.
