Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Canadian Open: Career Record and History

Felix Auger-Aliassime is the most decorated Canadian men’s tennis player of the Open Era and one of the most exciting players on the ATP tour today. Born in Montreal on August 8, 2000, FAA grew up with the Canadian Open as his home tournament. Every summer when the world’s best players arrive in Montreal or Toronto, he arrives with them carrying the weight of an entire country’s expectations on his shoulders.

He has been ranked as high as world No. 4 in singles and has won nine ATP Tour titles, making him the most successful Canadian man in the history of professional tennis. But at the tournament closest to his heart, the Canadian Open, the titles have so far proved elusive.

This page covers his full Canadian Open record, his best performances, and what makes him such a compelling figure every time he steps on court in front of his home crowd.

Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Canadian Open

For Felix Auger-Aliassime, the Canadian Open is not just another Masters 1000 tournament. It is the event where he plays in front of the crowd that watched him grow up, in the city where his tennis journey began.

Montreal is his hometown. The fans at IGA Stadium know his name, his story, and his potential better than anyone else in the world.

What makes this tournament different for FAA:

• Plays in front of his home crowd in Montreal every other year
• Carries the expectations of an entire country on his shoulders
• The emotional connection between him and Canadian fans is unlike anything he experiences elsewhere on tour
• Every match at the Canadian Open feels bigger than its ranking points suggest

“I really feel the support that we have from Canadians, so that fills me with a lot of strength and desire to play well,” Auger-Aliassime has said about competing at home.

Despite that passion, the Canadian Open has been one of the more challenging events on his calendar. The results have not yet matched his performances elsewhere, but every time he walks onto that court, the crowd believes another chapter is about to be written.

Canadian Open Results

Felix Auger-Aliassime has competed at the Canadian Open multiple times throughout his career. Here is his verified results record at the tournament.

Key observations from his Canadian Open record:

• His best result to date is a quarterfinal appearance in Montreal in 2022
• At the time of his 2022 quarterfinal run, no Canadian had reached the semifinals at this event since Denis Shapovalov in 2017
• Early round exits in 2023 and 2024 were disappointing given his strong performances elsewhere that season
• His 2025 second round appearance showed some improvement on his previous two Canadian Open campaigns

The Canadian Open remains the one major tournament where FAA has yet to consistently translate his world class ability into deep runs. That gap between his overall career level and his home tournament results is what drives the conversation around him every August.

Best Canadian Open Performances

Among his Canadian Open appearances, the 2022 Montreal campaign stands out as Felix Auger-Aliassime’s finest run at his home tournament.

2022 Montreal – Best Canadian Open Run:

That quarterfinal run in 2022 was significant for several reasons:

• He entered as the sixth seed, the highest seeding he has carried at this tournament
• He reached the quarterfinal without dropping a set in his opening matches
• The crowd at IGA Stadium was fully behind him throughout the week
• His quarterfinal loss to Casper Ruud was a flat performance that did not reflect his level that season

“It’s super disappointing to lose any tournament like this and especially here,” Auger-Aliassime said after the 2022 quarterfinal defeat, reflecting just how much the Canadian Open means to him personally.

His 2022 run remains the benchmark for what he is capable of achieving at this tournament. Reaching the quarterfinal at a Masters 1000 event on home soil against a world class field was a genuine achievement, even if the manner of the exit left him and the crowd wanting more.

Titles and Records

Felix Auger-Aliassime has built one of the most impressive title records in Canadian tennis history across his career on the ATP tour.

Career title highlights:

Key records and milestones:

• His ninth ATP Tour singles title made him the most decorated Canadian man in the Open Era, surpassing Milos Raonic who won eight career titles
• Reached a career high ranking of world No. 4
• Reached the US Open semifinals twice, in 2021 and 2025
• Won the Davis Cup with Canada in 2022
• Won an Olympic mixed doubles bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics
• First player born in the 2000s to earn an ATP ranking and break into the world’s top 100 

His title record shows a clear preference for indoor hard courts, where his powerful serve and aggressive forehand cause maximum damage. Seven of his nine career titles have come on indoor hard court surfaces.

Latest Canadian Open Appearances

Felix Auger-Aliassime continues to be the leading Canadian player at the National Bank Open every summer. His most recent appearances have shown both the promise and the frustration that defines his relationship with this tournament.

Recent Canadian Open appearances at a glance:

After his 2025 exit Auger-Aliassime reflected on the result saying “I was trying my best on every point and it’s not enough.”

Despite the early exits in recent years, his standing as Canada’s top men’s player means he arrives at the Canadian Open each summer as the player the home crowd looks to most. His performances elsewhere on tour, including deep Grand Slam runs and multiple titles, prove his ability is not in question.

The Canadian Open simply remains the tournament where he has yet to put everything together at the right moment. For Canadian tennis fans, that makes every new edition of the tournament feel like an opportunity waiting to happen.

Conclusion

Felix Auger-Aliassime is the finest Canadian men’s tennis player of his generation. Nine career titles, a world No. 4 ranking, two US Open semifinals, and the record for most ATP titles by a Canadian man in the Open Era. But the Canadian Open remains unfinished business. Every summer the same question returns. Can FAA finally deliver the week his talent and his home crowd have always believed is possible?
