Auger-Aliassime gets Madrid wild card. MORE:
The Madrid Open announced Monday that the 18-year-old Canadian has been granted a wild card into the event, May 5-12.
While Auger-Aliassime jumped to No. 33 from No. 57 in Monday's world rankings after reaching the semifinals in Miami last week, entry deadlines for tournaments are weeks before play actually begins. Because of that, Auger-Aliassime didn't get direct entries into Indian Wells , Miami , Monte Carlo or Madrid.
Auger-Aliassime is fourth on the alternate list for Monte Carlo, so there's still a chance he gets a main-draw spot through dropouts."Felix is an incredible player," Feliciano Lopez, director of the tournament, said in a statement."Everything he is doing at 18 years of age is astonishing. He has a spectacular future, with a practically limitless range of shots. He earned his invitation to play in the main draw through his results early this season.
