Recently, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Nina Ghaibi, his longtime girlfriend, concluded a memorable trip to Togo. The couple loved spending time with happy locals and posted about their experiences on social media.
In general, Auger-Aliassime had a subpar season on the court. His greatest accomplishment was making it to his first Masters 1000 final at the Madrid Open. He also won a bronze in mixed doubles, his first Olympic medal, at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, but he missed out on a singles medal by one victory. To begin his 2025 campaign, the five-time tour-level titlist will play for his nation in the United Cup.
Auger-Aliassime and his girlfriend travelled to Togo, a place that is particularly dear to the tennis player, in order to rest and recover from a tumultuous 2024 campaign. Sam, Auger-Aliassime’s father, is a tennis instructor who came to Canada at the age of 25 from the African nation where he was born.
The couple was spotted playing entertaining games and meeting up with locals during their most recent trip to Kara, Togo. In addition, the former world No. 6 played tennis with young aspirants. According to Ghaibi’s memories, he was part of a traditional dance with an inspirational group leading the way.
Ghaibi wrote on Instagram: “Another Togo trip in the books filled with the most joyous, generous and inspiring groups of people I’ve witnessed.”
Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, posted a moving video message to illuminate their culture and the ambitious youth. He also emphasized the nation’s current dearth of opportunities.
