Roger Federer and Felix Auger Aliassime are part of a completely different generation with a huge age gap of 19 years. However, it’s interesting to notice that they share the same birthday (8th of August).
Age not an issue for Federer?
At now 39 years of age, Roger has no intention of retiring any soon. The timeless Swiss legend has been sidelined for long after having a double procedure to his right knee, but he has all the intentions of competing at the highest levels in 2021.
Ranked no.4, the Swiss played his last match on the 30th of January when he lost to Novak Djokovic 7-61 6-4 6-3 in the semifinal of the Australian Open.
Roger Federer’s most significant result of the current year was getting to the semi-finals at the Australian Open.
Felix and the age on his side
Felix has now turned 20 and he has already broken in the top 20 with a world no.17 best rank. The Canadian sensation is definitely one of the most interesting prospects on tour not only because of his potential but also for his bright personality. Curiously, Felix hasn’t won a tournament at ATP level with an odd 0-5 win-loss record in the finals. Auger-Aliassime was the runner-up in Rio de Janeiro, Lion, and Stuttgart in 2019 and he has already reached the finals in Rotterdam and Marseille this year.
Ranked no.20, Felix played his last match on the 26th of February when he was overcome by Kyle Edmund 6-4 6-4 in the 2nd round in Acapulco.
Felix Auger Aliassime’s most significant accomplishment of the current year was getting to the final in Rotterdam and Marseille.
