World No.15 Felix Auger-Aliassime has played some brilliant tennis this year. The 20-year-old ended up at the runner-up of the ATP Stuttgart Open 2021 and even defeated Roger Federer at the Halle Open 2021 despite losing the first set against him.
It is because of all this consistent effort that Felix has made it to the Canadian tennis team that will be playing at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. In a recent Instagram post, he highlighted that it means a lot to him and how he once dreamt of playing the Olympic Games when he was a small kid. The Canadian rising star even shared a picture of his childhood.

“It is with a lot of pride that this kid, who once could only dream of it, is today on his way to Tokyo. Proof that some dreams become a reality. I hope this will inspire many others to believe and never let go of their dreams,” wrote Aliassime in the Instagram caption.
Felix clearly believes that his trip to Tokyo will also inspire many young talents who dream of representing their nation on the court one day.

“I can’t promise you wins, but I can promise you to represent my country with passion, strength, and honour. Best of luck to all my fellow Canadians in Tokyo,” added the 20-year-old player.
Felix will be playing in both the singles and doubles category in Tokyo. However, since his partner, Vasek Pospisil, has withdrawn from the tournament, it’ll be intriguing to watch with whom he pairs up now.
Fans are quite exhilarated for the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Will Felix be able to win an Olympic Gold for his nation this year?
