Add The California Post on Google Since Spanish superstar Carlos Alcaraz isn’t competing at Wimbledon this year because he’s still working his way back from a wrist injury, there’s a strong case to be made that Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime has the best chance to dethrone reigning Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner.
Auger-Aliassime is entering the iconic tournament as the No. 3 seed and faces American Michael Zheng in the third round on July 3. If Auger-Aliassime (who is the world’s No. 4-ranked player, according to the ATP) can keep winning, he would have to face Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the semifinal before potentially facing Sinner in the final.
Auger-Aliassime is viewed as one of the most wholesome players in professional tennis, and his successful relationship with his wife, Nina, is a big reason.
While Nina Auger-Aliassime spends a lot of time supporting her husband at his matches, she also has her own hobbies. One of these is horseback riding, which she showed with a recent Instagram post that showed her wearing a blue equestrian outfit and standing alongside a horse.
The post was captioned, “Summertime joys 🌸🍦🦄 Also a moment for Beanie’s 5yr before & after in the last two slides🥲🐣,” with her horse presumably being named Beanie.
Another photo in the Instagram collage showed Nina enjoying an outdoor meal with Felix. The final post shows her seemingly in an equestrian competition.
These two met in 2018 after Felix saw Nina spectating one of his matches and decided to speak with her. They began dating soon after and were married in 2025.
Perhaps Felix will buy his wife another horse with his Wimbledon winnings if he manages to win his first major.
