  • Posted: Dec 03, 2021

Felix Auger-Aliassime was presented this week in the ATP’s Monaco office with a trophy to celebrate his breakthrough into the Top 10 of the FedEx ATP Rankings last month.

The Canadian star on 15 November reached a career-high World No. 10 after reaching the semi-finals of the Stockholm Open. He ended his season at World No. 11.

Felix is the third Canadian singles player to crack the Top 10 since the inception of the FedEx ATP Rankings in 1973. The 21-year-old joined Milos Raonic, who achieved the milestone in 2013, and Denis Shapovalov, who accomplished the feat in 2020.

Auger-Aliassime reached two ATP Tour finals this year — at the Murray River Open in Melbourne and the MercedesCup in Stuttgart. He also made his maiden major quarter-final at Wimbledon and semi-final at the US Open.

Auger-Aliassime was one of four players who reached the Top 10 for the first time this year, joining Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz and Jannik Sinner.
