During the Australian Open, ATPtour.com will bring fans an insight into the leaders of key statistical categories, showing how performance in 2025 has all been combined with successful seasons and the promise of more great times to come in 2026.
In 2025, Felix Auger-Aliassime emerged as one of the most influential players on the ATP Tour – a man who seems to thrive when games are on the line.
The Canadian finished the year winning a Tour-leading 69.6 percent (32/46) of breaks served, and also won a season-best 20 deciding set matches. That kind of nerve and execution under pressure turned tough conditions into titles – in Adelaide, Montpellier and Brussels – while he also climbed to the top 5 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
Felix attributed his dramatic halftime turnaround to a solid year of performance and confidence from winning more games. “Serve consistency is great at the end of sets, deciding sets and pressing times,” he said. “I was able to come up with good resources most of the time when I needed to.
Then I think it’s just complete confidence. You get that feeling when you’re on the winning streak or when you’ve been in those stressful situations, you feel like you’re going to have a good outcome somehow. You feel like you won’t be missed before another guy.”
Felix Auger-Aliassime record and trim set
| The season | Tie-Break WL | Trim-Set WL |
| 2025 | 32-14 | 20-7 |
| 2024 | 6-10 | 10-13 |
Auger-Aliassime’s DNA came up big against Alex de Minaur in the US Open quarter-finals. The 25-year-old dropped the first set but remained unfazed to win 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4) to reach his first semi-final since 2021.
“My big break win last year was in the fourth set against De Minaur in the US Open quarterfinals,” he said. “It was really tight. If I dropped that it would be the fifth set and you don’t know what could happen, I might not have made it to the semis. So it wasn’t easy.”
In 2024, Auger-Aliassime had a poor record in both breaks (6-10) and decision sets (10-13), but the turnaround from that campaign to 2025 was remarkable. It also played a key role in his year-end push to reach the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time since 2022. Auger-Aliassime has turned himself into one of the tour’s most reliable finishers under pressure.
What is Felix’s opinion as he goes on vacation?
“I have an aggressive style of play, so I haven’t changed anything from that,” he said. “When you get to the tie-break, you’ve played 12 games during the set, so you know your opponent’s favorite patterns. So I try to remember those patterns that I like and try to focus on my serve, try to do as many firsts as possible.”
“The last thing is to never complain. You don’t really have time, you have to reset quickly. You can turn to 4-2 down, but you have to stay strong. You never know. One point can change everything in the tie-break. And for me, you can’t allow yourself to show any carelessness.”
In short: 2025 wasn’t just about titles or points in the PIF ATP Rankings – it was about showing what he can deliver when all the points count. On that night when the match was teetering on a knife’s edge, Auger-Aliassime was the man trusted to sharpen it and strike.
