The adventure is over Stan Wawrinka in it ATP 250 in Montpellierwhere last night he surrendered his weapons in another great battle against the current tournament champion, Felix Auger-Aliassime. A high-profile match that had the icing on the cake with the subsequent speeches.

Especially with the words of a Happy Auger-Also They always exceed the expectations of anyone who hears from the other side. The Canadian not only has a gift with the racket, he is also a tremendous speaker since he appeared on the circuit, a person who always empathizes with his rivals, possessing values that allow him to speak so well in front of the microphone.

“Stan is an example for all of us and it is incredible that we have never faced each other before, in fact, a few weeks ago we were discussing it in the locker room at the Australian Open, we saw each other and fell into that anecdote,” commented the man from Montreal about a rivalry that finally took place this Thursday. “Interestingly, it had to happen in the tournament that comes right after, it’s funny. It has been a real pleasure to share the court with someone like him,” added the 25-year-old.

Speaking about the game itself, Aliassime analyzed how both players warmed up as the minutes passed. “I think I started serving very well at the beginning of the match, this has allowed me not to have too long exchanges, although I think it is something that we have both celebrated, we were both trying to escape from those excessively prolonged rallies. Later, when a few games have passed, we have started to pick up some rhythm, until reaching the end of the second set where the level has grown a lot,” he stressed after his 6-4, 7-6 victory.

“I felt like I was playing better, that I was dominating, but with an opponent like Stan you can’t relax because you know that he can come back at any moment. I think we all had a really good time today, I also speak for all the people who came to see us at the stadium,” said the Canadian, who was playing his first official match since he had to retire with cramps in the first round of the Australian Open.

Aliassime’s nice words after beating Wawrinka

While Wawrinka watched the scene from the bench, waiting to also receive his well-deserved tribute after playing the Montpellier tournament for the last time, Aliassime still had time to give him some words that represent the emotion of the entire locker room. Thanks to an extraordinary tennis player, one of those who leave their mark forever.

“It is true that we had never faced each other in an official match, but I know him very well, I belong to that generation that has grown up watching Stan on television. We all know that He is a legendary player, all young players dream of having a career like his. Not only for all his victories on the court, but also for his resilience and his work philosophy, all the consistency he has shown throughout this time,” concluded Felix, who will now face Arthur Fils in the next round.
