Felix Auger-Aliassime has produced a remarkable end-of-season run to qualify for his second ATP Finals.
Auger-Aliassime’s qualification for the Finals was confirmed on Saturday following Lorenzo Musetti’s loss to Novak Djokovic in the Athens Open final.
The Canadian was a significant outsider heading into the latter portion of the season, but his run to the US Open semi-finals put him in contention with two months of the campaign remaining.
He will now play Ben Shelton, Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev for a place in the ATP Finals last four.
Although Auger-Aliassime is seeded seventh in Turin, he is a player who should not be underestimated by his peers.
Felix Auger-Aliassime’s superb indoor record in 2025
Felix Auger-Aliassime holds the third-best record at Indoor events in 2025, behind only Jannik Sinner and Ugo Humbert.
Auger-Aliassime has won indoor events in Montpellier and Brussels this year, and a total 2025 record of 15-3 at indoor events.
| Player | Indoor Win/Loss | Win Percentage |
| Jannik Sinner | 10-0 | 100 |
| Ugo Humbert | 11-2 | 84.6 |
| Felix Auger-Aliassime | 15-3 | 83.3 |
| Casper Ruud | 13-3 | 81.3 |
| Alex de Minaur | 12-3 | 80 |
| Denis Shapovalov | 9-3 | 75 |
| Corentin Moutet | 9-3 | 75 |
| Daniil Medvedev | 10-4 | 71.4 |
| Alejandro Davidovich Fokina | 8-4 | 66.7 |
| Joao Fonseca | 6-3 | 66.7 |
What must be noted is that the Canadian has played eight more indoor matches than Sinner, and six more than Humbert.
The 25-year-old’s proficiency on indoor hard courts has long been recognised: of the Canadian’s nine titles, eight have come on indoor hard courts.
His only non-indoor title was won at the 2025 Adelaide Open: an outdoor hard-court event.
Since the US Open, Auger-Aliassime has won the Brussels Open and made the Paris Masters final.
In that final, he proved his worth against Jannik Sinner, despite losing the match 4-6, 6-7.
The Canadian is a force to be reckoned with on indoor hard courts, and with the ATP Finals being held on the very same surface, Auger-Aliassime is a sure-fire bet to advance far at the tournament.
Auger-Aliassime has qualified for the ATP Finals once before, in 2022. He failed to advance past the round robin stage on that occasion.
Auger-Aliassime’s first ATP Tour title
Felix Auger-Aliassime won his first ATP Tour title at the 2022 Rotterdam Open – an indoor hard-court event.
The Canadian, seeded third, defeated Yegor Gerasimov, Andy Murray and Cameron Norrie on his way to the quarter-finals, where he beat Andrey Rublev 6-7, 6-4, 6-2.
In the final, Auger-Aliassime defeated top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-2.
The triumph snapped Auger-Aliassime’s eight-match losing streak in ATP finals.
As reported by BBC Sport, after defeating Tsitsipas in the final, the Canadian said: “It is the happiest day of my career and hopefully it is the first of many to come.”
