Felix Auger-Aliassime is making a serious statement in 2025.
The Canadian star clinched his seventh career ATP title at the Open Occitanie in Montpellier, outlasting American Aleksandar Kovacevic in a dramatic three-set final that came down to a tiebreak thriller.
This latest triumph cements Auger-Aliassime’s dominance on indoor hard courts, where six of his seven ATP titles have been won. And with two titles already in 2025, he’s sending a clear message to the ATP’s elite—he’s coming for more.
A Fast Start to 2025: Felix Building Momentum
Auger-Aliassime’s Montpellier victory follows his Adelaide title in January, marking a red-hot start to the season.
His growing trophy cabinet has now pushed him up the ATP leaderboard among players born in 2000 or later.
🏆 Jannik Sinner (19 ATP Titles) – The current World No.1 leads the pack.
🏆 Carlos Alcaraz (16 ATP Titles) – The Wimbledon champion is right behind him.
🏆 Felix Auger-Aliassime (7 ATP Titles) – Now the third-most decorated player of his generation.
Having leapfrogged Argentina’s Sebastián Báez (6 titles), Auger-Aliassime has now firmly established himself as a legitimate force among the ATP’s rising stars.
Why This Win Matters
Auger-Aliassime’s indoor hard-court mastery has been his greatest weapon, and Montpellier reaffirmed that.
- His first ATP title came on indoor hard courts in Rotterdam (2022), where he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas.
- With Montpellier and Adelaide in the bag, his confidence is soaring heading into the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam—an event where he’s already a former champion.

Next on the schedule? The ATP 500 event in Rotterdam—one of the biggest indoor tournaments on the circuit.
Auger-Aliassime has fond memories of this event, having won his maiden ATP title there in 2022 by defeating Tsitsipas. With his indoor dominance in full swing, the Canadian is poised to make another deep run.
Final Take: Auger-Aliassime’s Stock is Rising
While Sinner and Alcaraz remain the dominant forces of the younger generation, Auger-Aliassime is proving he’s not far behind.
With momentum on his side, the next few months could be crucial in determining whether he can truly break into the elite ranks of men’s tennis.
And if his start to 2025 is any indication, the best is yet to come.
