If you think that Tennis in Canada will only be about Raonic, Bouchard and Pospisil… think again!
Felix Auger-Aliassime is the youngest guy in tennis history to win a match in a Challenger main draw after trashing 21-year-old Andrew Whittington 6-3 6-2 in the Challenger at Granby. After this win Felix has an incredible 6-0 win/loss record in the Senior Circuit (he won 5 matches in qualifying matches at challenger level).
Felix shares the same birthday as (a little more famous) Roger Federer (8th of August).
A new champion on the rise?
