What did Felix Auger-Aliassime say about Nick Kyrgios? 

Felix Auger-Aliassime didn’t hold back in his criticism of Kyrgios. He believed that even though he was a brilliant tennis player, he wouldn’t ever be friends with him.

“I think he’s a good tennis player, but I could never be friends or close to a person like that,’ he told Tennis Life Media.

“Beyond that, if I wasn’t a tennis player – for example, if we knew each other at school or whatever – he’s not someone I would be friends with or hang out with.

“So you have to look at two things. There’s the tennis player, and there’s the person. I don’t really feel like associating with a person like that.’
