Felix Auger Aliassime is one of the most exciting and gracious upcoming players on the ATP.
At just 19 years of age, he is already ranked no.19 and n.13 in the year to date rankings to have a shot at qualifying for the finals.
The Canadian sensation is currently in New York where he is getting ready for the last slam of the year, and he didn’t miss the chances to hit with the kids.
In this video, you can see his joy to stick with the kids, and he didn’t want to miss any “five.”
Felix will be a great ambassador for the sport. Do not miss the video.

Last year at the US Open
Felix had a horrific experience last year at the US Open after he had to withdraw in the 1st round when he was playing against his dear friend Denis Shapovalov in the 1st round. Auger Aliassime had to retire because of an irregular heartbeat. Later, Felix had a small procedure that fixed the problem, and after 1 year he is as stronger as ever and ready for a great run.
