Auger-Aliassime should learn from Roger Federer, says Guy Forget
In an interview to Le Journal, the French Open Tournament Director Guy Forget commented on Felix Auger-Aliassime's withdrawal from the event.
Forget, looking to the future, believes that winning a Major would change the 18-year-old's career. "Now everyone speaks about Roger's win in 2009, when he went down on his knees and started crying. If Felix Auger-Aliassime will become a legend, it will start here. He may win Toronto five times, Paris Masters or Basel and people will say he is a good player. On the other side, if he wins here or Wimbledon, he will be seen in a different way. Unless he is injured, he will play the French Open next year and many more times. We are disappointed not to have him but that's part of the sport. Next year he may have a different schedule. If he feels some pain, he could not play and so he would see the French Open as his goal. It's normal, he is young. It's nice to see such a big desire from him to win. Now, with the experience, he will learn to make the right choices at the right time. After all, if Roger Federer is so strong at 38 years of age, it's because he made the right choices every time", said Forget.
