At 18 years of age, Felix Auger Aliassime is one of the most interesting young players on tour.

The youngster is already the world no.33, and he is ranked no.12 in the Year to Date rankings even to have an opportunity to qualify for the Finals in London. Felix has recently reached the final in Rio de Janeiro and the semifinal in Miami where he had to start from the qualifications.

Auger Aliassime is extremely comfortable on clay; he confirmed his participation in Barcelona, and he received a wild card for the main draw in Madrid. In addition, the Canadian has announced that he will move his residence in Monte Carlo.

Why Auger Aliassime will receive a wild card (almost) for sure

Given Felix’ recent notoriety, his strength on clay, the fact that he will also move to the Principality and he received a wild card already last year, it is widely expected that he will obtain a wild card also in 2019 for the main draw in Monaco.

The wild cards will be announced next week.
