Canada's latest tennis star makes his compatriots Milos Raonic (24) and Vasek Pospisil (25) look geriatric by comparison. At only 14 years old, Félix Auger-Aliassime is already garnering notice from the maintennis media for his performances on the ATP Challenger Tour

The young Canadian made his professional debut at a $50 000 Challenger event in Drummondville, QC. He won three straight matches to reach the main draw, becoming the youngest person in history to do so. He was unfortunately unable to play in the main draw due to injury, but he had already accomplished enough to become the youngest player to ever be ranked by the ATP Tour rankings. 

His most recent run, just last week at the Granby Banque Nationale Challenger Tournament, has given him another record. When he easily handled Australian Andrew Whittington, another qualifier, with a scoreline of 6-3, 6-2, he became the youngest winner of a main draw match on the Challenger Tour. He kept winning, making all the way to the quarterfinals. He then lost to fourth-seeded Yoshihito Nishioka, a 19-year-old left-handed player who is ranked 140th in the world, with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. He managed to impress yet again however, by clawing back from a 1-4 deficit in the first set by winning five straight games. His performance was enough to move him 488 places up the world rankings, to number 749.

The teenager, who doesn't turn 15 until August 8th, a birthday he shares with the man 19 years his senior, Roger Fededer, has improved tremendously since joining Tennis Canada's national training centre class of 2014-15 last fall. At the time, he still had the appearance of a little kid, but in the months since he has been through a major growth spurt, and currently stands at 6-foot-1. He has also moved over 500 spots up the world junior rankings, and is now ranked 69th in the world. This ranking will allow him entry to the qualifiers for the junior Grand Slams, an impressive feat for so young a player. 

The Canadian, whose 16-year-old sister Malika is also doing well on the junior scene, has been impressing everyone who watches him. Canadian men's number one Milos Raonic made his comment on twitter. 

Inspiring to see what Félix Auger-Aliassime is doing at only 14 years old. He is going to be fun to follow.

Davis Cup captain Martin Laurendeau spoke to the Journal de Montréal. He told reporters, "I've never been so dazzled in all my life, watching a young tennis player." 

Observers describe the game of the Frederic Niemeyer student as very technically proficient and well rounded. He can change speeds, serve big, use spin, hit well-angled returns, covers the court very well, and produce crisp volleys. 

It may seem premature to crown a 14-year-old as a phenomenal talent, and it is. After all, there are ball kids older than young Auger-Aliassime. However, if his development continues in this manner, that will become an impossible point to argue.
