Gael Monfils and Felix Auger Aliassime are going to clash in the Rotterdam final in what will be a very special match for both of them. While Gael will have the opportunity to win a back-to-back title for the first time in his career after he conquered Montpellier last week, Felix has a shot at winning his maiden ATP title.
After his semifinal, Gael had great words about Felix to explain why he likes him so much. The Frenchman commented: “He is a great guy. A humble guy. Very strong. He is a very talented guy. Definitely, I expect a tough match, but a cool match because I think we might see him for a long time, definitely in this part of a tournament on this stage.”
Felix and Gael have never played each other so far.
