Auger-Aliassime to help children in Togo

Felix Auger-Aliassime started last season with a world No. 108 next to his name. But, after reaching three ATP finals and enjoying a semifinal run at the Miami Open, he climbed all the way up world No. 21.

The 19-year-old is grateful to have found success early on in his career, but the Canadian is looking to do more than just win matches. He wants to help underprivileged children in Togo win in the classroom.

"I feel lucky to have a hugely satisfying career so far. But I think it's time to bring more meaning to it beyond tennis," Auger-Aliassime said.

The teenager is teaming up with BNP Paribas and Care Canada on a project called "FAA Points for Change." He will be donating $5 dollars to Educhange for each point he wins and BNP Paribas will match every point with a $15 dollar donation.

He has won 768 points so far this season.

"This year more than ever, every point will matter," Auger-Aliassime said.

If last year is any indication of what's in store for his 2020 season, we can expect many points to be won. Auger-Aliassime is currently in Rotterdam, where he will face Jan-Lennard Struff in the ATP 500's opening round.
