Playing style

Auger-Aliassime is an all-court tennis player. His favorite shot is the forehand, and his favorite tournament is the Rogers Cup, because it is played in his hometown of Montreal. His most successful surface is indoor hardcourt, having won six of his seven titles on it. Auger-Aliassime also possesses a strong serve and moves well around the court. He is able to generate power easily off both wings, but is sometimes prone to unforced errors. Additionally, he plays with high intensity at each point, which can wear down his opponents during long matches.
