Félix Auger-Aliassime is a Canadian professional tennis player who helped lead Canada to its first Davis Cup title in 2022.

Félix Auger-Aliassime was born on August 8, 2000, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and raised in L'Ancienne-Lorette, a suburb of Quebec City, to Sam Aliassime, a tennis coach who emigrated from Togo, and Marie Auger, who is of French-Canadian descent. He began playing tennis at four and shares a birthday with his childhood idol, Roger Federer. Auger-Aliassime became the youngest player ever to win a match on the ATP Challenger Tour, doing so at 14 years and 11 months old, and reached the world No. 2 junior ranking, winning the boys' doubles title at the 2015 US Open alongside fellow Canadian Denis Shapovalov and the boys' singles title there the following year. Auger-Aliassime made his professional breakthrough in 2019, reaching three ATP Tour finals as an 18-year-old and cracking the world's top 100, before helping Canada win both the ATP Cup and Davis Cup in 2022, a banner year in which he also reached the US Open semi-finals. Auger-Aliassime overcame subsequent injuries to resurge in 2025, winning three titles, reaching another US Open semi-final, and climbing to a career-high ranking of world No. 5. He donates $5 for every point he wins on tour to support children in Togo, his father's home country, and won a mixed doubles bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
