Felix Auger-Aliassime and Nick Kyrgios do not share a great relationship. In the past, the Canadian player was very straightforward in saying that he would never choose Kyrgios as one of his friends. Probably and hopefully their relationship is a bit better right now. However, Felix was surprised by Kyrgios’s latest tweet saying: “When is FAA gonna lose?”
When is FAA gonna lose 😂

Indeed, after defeating France’s Tiafoe in the quarter-finals in Paris, Felix has worn his 16th consecutive match.
When asked to comment on Kyrgios’s tweet, Auger-Alissime replied:
“I didn’t see the tweet. Nice from him. We’ll see when I lose. I mean, I’m not focused on that. I mean, enjoying, you know, my streak. Just showing up to every match with the same attitude and with the same fighting spirit and just focused. That’s what I’m trying to do. I’m just trying my best, and we’ll see what the outcome is at the end of this week.”
