Felix Auger-Aliassime says his season is over due to ankle injury, but is hopeful of making Davis Cup Finals
Rising Canadian star Felix Auger-Aliassime has revealed his ATP season is over due to injury.
The world number 18 revealed that he had suffered an injury to his left ankle in practice and, as a result, would be unable to play in the final two major tournaments of the season.
He is, however, still aiming to be available to represent Canada in the Davis Cup finals, which begins on November 18.
“After talking with my team and doctors, we concluded that I wouldn’t be able to compete in the last two tournaments of the season,” Auger-Aliassime announced on social media.
“I am sorry I can’t take part of the Paris Masters and the NextGen ATP finals in Milan, which are important encounters with the fans.
“I am planning to be fit and ready for the Davis Cup Finals in November.”
Auger-Aliassime is scheduled to be part of a very strong Canadian team in Madrid which also features Denis Shapovalov and Milos Raonic.
