Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

1R: Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) will be facing [Q] Aleksandar Kovacevic (USA) in their first meeting. Auger-Aliassime is currently 24 years old and is ranked World No. 19. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 6 and had a breakthrough season in 2022 with a personal-best of 60 wins. During this season, he also had a 16-match win streak and won three titles in as many weeks at Florence, Antwerp, and Basel. He won the Rotterdam title in 2022, breaking his 0-8 start in career singles finals. Auger-Aliassime also reached the 3rd straight Grand Slam quarterfinal at the Australian Open and was part of the winning teams at the ATP Cup, Laver Cup, and Davis Cup.

In 2022, Auger-Aliassime led the ATP Tour with 45 hard-court wins and 31 indoor wins. He had notable victories over world No. 1 Alcaraz and former No. 1 players Djokovic, Murray, and Nadal. He became the first Canadian ATP Masters 1000 finalist on clay in history when he reached the 2024 Madrid final. Additionally, he became the first Canadian men’s singles semi-finalist at the 2021 US Open. In 2019, as an 18-year-old, he became the youngest Top-25 player since Hewitt in 1999 and the youngest ATP 500 finalist in series history at Rio de Janeiro. He also became the youngest semi-finalist in Miami tournament history in the same year.

It is worth noting that Auger-Aliassime is currently seeking his first win since finishing in 4th place at the Paris Olympics, where he lost to Alcaraz in the semifinals and Musetti in the bronze medal match. He has a 13-5 record in opening-round matches in 2024, including a loss to Cobolli last week.

On the other hand, Kovacevic is 25 years old and is ranked

World No. 79, which is his career-high ranking. He broke into the Top 100 in January 2024 and reached his career-high ranking in August 2024. His previous peak was No. 101 in April 2023. Kovacevic had notable victories over his countryman McDonald to reach the 2022 Seoul SF in his ATP Tour main draw debut as a 222nd-ranked lucky loser. He also defeated No. 13 Norrie to reach his 2nd ATP Tour QF at the 2023 Los Cabos tournament. He won Challenger titles in Cleveland, Waco, Shenzhen, and Temuco in 2023, with a notable win over Wu Yibing in the Cleveland final. Kovacevic made his Grand Slam debut at the 2023 Roland Garros, where he played against his idol Djokovic in the 1R. He earned his first Grand Slam win at the 2024 Australian Open by defeating Tabilo.

Before turning professional, Kovacevic played college tennis for 5 years at the University of Illinois. He was a 2-time All-American and graduated in 2021 with a finance degree. Kovacevic was born and raised in New York City and started playing tennis at the age of 4 at Central Park with his parents, Milan and Milanka, who were former professional table tennis players from former Yugoslavia.

It is also worth noting that Kovacevic is seeking his second Top 20 win, with his previous victory against No. 13 Norrie at the 2023 Los Cabos tournament. He has also secured two ATP Masters 1000 wins, including a win over Munar at the 2023 Miami tournament.
