A Remarkable Journey On and Off the Court

Felix Auger-Aliassime has reached the semifinals of the 2025 US Open, marking his second appearance in the final four at this Grand Slam tournament since his previous achievement in 2021. This tennis triumph comes at a particularly meaningful time in the Canadian star’s life.

Personal Life Milestone

The 25th-seeded player has been making impressive strides at the US Open while simultaneously preparing for one of life’s biggest moments – his upcoming wedding to long-time fiancée Nina Ghaibi. The couple announced their engagement in November 2024.

A Perfect Match

The couple’s story began at a tournament in Miami when they were both 18 years old. According to Auger-Aliassime, their relationship is built on shared values. He describes Nina as ‘very honest, very straightforward’ with great family values.

Nina Ghaibi brings her own unique background to their relationship. Born in the U.S., she holds Croatian citizenship, with a Croatian mother and Moroccan father. Interestingly, she is related to the tennis world through her cousin, Croatian-born Australian tennis player Ajla Tomljanović.

Professional Success and Support

The 2025 season has been a mix of highs and lows for Auger-Aliassime, with title successes in Adelaide and Montpellier, and a final appearance at the ATP 500 in Dubai, though he faced early exits at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and Roland Garros.

Throughout these ups and downs, Auger-Aliassime credits his support system, particularly Nina, as crucial to his success: ‘Having someone like her, or even my team, people who are consistently there for me, is huge. It’s great knowing that even when tennis is up and down, the people who matter most don’t come and go with the results. They stay and that stability makes all the difference.’

Looking Ahead

Following his victory in the quarterfinals, Auger-Aliassime will face defending champion Jannik Sinner in the semifinals. The winner will advance to face either second seed Alcaraz or seventh seed Novak Djokovic in the final. With both his tennis career and personal life reaching new heights, this September promises to be a memorable month for the Canadian tennis star.
