Felix Auger-Aliassime\u2019s<\/a> revival is gathering momentum after he stormed into the US Open quarter-finals with a powerful win against Andrey Rublev and he has revealed he is planning for a big date of his own as he counts down to his wedding day.<\/p>\n

The Canadian star has struggled to hit the heights he reached after his initial breakthrough on the ATP Tour in 2021, but he is back in form and he may be inspired by his contentment off the court.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime has too much power and invention for an irate Rublev as he won 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 and as he spoke to Sky Sports after the match, he opened up on his love story with his wife-to-be, Nina Ghaibi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wedding is two weeks after the US Open<\/a> final,\u201d said Auger-Aliassime. \u201cI\u2019m having a final suit fitting for the wedding, but everything else is set. It would be too stressful to be planning for a seeking and do this.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s see how it goes the last couple of days here and then we will get ready for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic retirement theory floated by former world No 1 \u2013 and it\u2019s not what you might expect<\/a><\/p>\n

Felix Auger-Aliassime picks his favourite from the \u2018Big 3\u2019 in exclusive Tennis365 interview<\/a><\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime spoke about how Nina has brought joy to his life, as he opened up on his relationship in an interview with the ATP.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very personal. Relationships are so different from one person to the next,\u201d he said. \u201cFor me personally, having Nina and having her by my side through this whole journey as a professional tennis player has meant a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI met her when I was 18 and she\u2019s always been amazing when it comes to understanding what I have to go through.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe supports me, listens and even gives me great advice, whether it\u2019s about tennis or not. We really try to support each other in everything and at the same time, we\u2019re best friends. It\u2019s the best thing to have her in my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cTennis results can be really up and down, but having someone like her, or even my team, people who are consistently there for me, is huge.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great knowing that even when tennis is up and down, the people who matter most don\u2019t come and go with the results. They stay and that stability makes all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime will be dreaming about winning his first Grand Slam title before walking down the isle with Nina and he was content with his performance against Rublev.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost four years, it feels good to be back,\u201d he added, reflecting on his last appearance at this stage of a Grand Slam in the 2022 Australian Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to be back even more than the first time. When you see the flip side and you have been going out early in the Grand Slams, it feels good to do it this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know how good I need to serve to dominate him (Rublev) and stepping in on his serve was crucial so he didn\u2019t feel comfortable on his serve. I did that really well.<\/p>\n

\u201cStepping on the court today, I knew I had my chances, but it was all about executing my plans well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a belief that I can win big matches and not worry too much about a couple of mistakes. After a few mistakes, keep believing it\u2019s going to pay off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime will play Alex De Minaur in the quarter-finals, after the Australian beat Swiss qualifier Leandro Riedi 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 win over at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always thought that the first job is to get there, right, and give myself the opportunity,\u201d said De Minaur.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I bum out early, I\u2019m never going to get the chance, so at least I\u2019ve got the chance in front of me. It\u2019s about embracing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my sixth quarter-final, so I\u2019ve got some experience. I know what to expect, and the mindset going forward is going to be going for it. There\u2019s no holding back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Felix Auger-Aliassime\u2019s revival is gathering momentum after he stormed into the US Open quarter-finals with a powerful win…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":{"0":"post-114776","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
