Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov are great friends and they are also the Canadian flags on the ATP Tour. Both Felix and Denis seem to be destined to consolidate their top20 status in 2020 to probably go for more during the season (top10?).
Even if both Denis and Felix have always stated that they are not racing against each other, it’s impossible not to notice their respective movements in the rankings.
Felix is currently in the final in Rotterdam where he has the opportunity to conquer his maiden ATP title. In addition, Auger-Aliassime can become the Canadian no.1 if he beats Gael Monfils in the final.
In terms of live rankings, Felix is now the world no.18, with 1,921 points. If he conquers Rotterdam, he will have 2,121 points to be the new world no.14 (career-high) and overtake Shapovalov that has 2,075 live points. This means that Felix will be the Canadian no.1.
