Serena Williams is the closest to beating the guys, says Auger-Aliassime
In an interview with Gio Journal, Felix Auger-Aliassime was asked what WTA player she should like to face. "Serena Williams. She’s the closest to beating the guys, so I think she’d be very challenging", replied the Canadian.
Asked what he loves the most about tennis, the 18-year-old replied: "I love the competition. Getting out there and playing in front of a lot of people, that’s what I play for. I think the competition in front of the fans is the best thing."
What legend of the past he would like to compete against? Yannick Noah. He’s a great legend. I had a chance to meet him at a special moment in his career.
Auger-Aliassime also shared how he would like to be remembered: "Hopefully, I’ve won many titles, maybe grand slams. But mostly that I was always a good competitor and that I was a good person outside of the court. It’s also very important for me that I was a good example for the generation to come."
Also, Denis Kudla was asked to describe how he would like his legacy to be: "I want them to say I was a hard worker and a great competitor. I really admire and idolize David Ferrer. The way people respect him since he has retired is something that I would like as well." Kudla picks Serena too: "I would like to play Serena because I think she is the greatest of all time and I would love to see how that goes."
