During a fun Q & A with the aforementioned publication, the Rotterdam champion was asked to name the GOAT of sliced backhand, to which he replied:
The World No. 9 was also very much impressed with Federer’s organizational skills. Auger-Aliassime recalled how the 20-time Grand Slam champion managed to juggle the logistics for his entire entourage of about 10 people when the pair trained together in Dubai back in 2017.
For that reason, the 21-year-old went with the former World No. 1 for “GOAT of travel logistics” as well.
Felix Auger-Aliassime further added that he himself is a “pretty organized” person. However, he admitted that he has also missed a connecting flight in the past.

Felix Auger-Aliassime was asked more interesting questions in the interview, including who the “GOAT of the second serve” was. The World No. 9 picked compatriot Milos Raonic, saying that he is one of the few players who tosses the ball identically for both the first and second serves.
The Canadian also revealed that Gilles Simon is the most talkative player he knows and is capable of talking for hours on end.
