Felix Auger-Aliassime credits ‘amazing’ fiancée Nina for planning their wedding & opens up about postponing key appointment after reaching US Open SF

Following his quarterfinal victory at the 2025 US Open, Felix Auger-Aliassime updated his fans about his wedding arrangements, highlighting a change in his suit-fitting appointment. Auger-Aliassime defeated Alex de Minaur 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4) to reach the Grand Slam semifinal.

However, his victory streak at the tournament has forced the Canadian player to make amendments to his wedding arrangements. Auger-Aliassime’s wedding suit fitting was scheduled on September 8, the day after the final. In the press conference after his quarterfinal win, the 25-year-old stated that his fitting appointment would likely be postponed, regardless of his run at the finals. He further praised his fiancée Nina Ghaibi for handling most of the wedding planning.

"The good thing is I was in the semifinals before walking down the aisle," Auger-Aliassime said. "I've never done so, you know, when it's a first, it's a special feeling for sure. I think people that were married can for sure relate. But yeah, the fitting, obviously we're probably going to have to postpone it. It's a quick turnaround and in terms of the planning, I mean, I have to give her credit, she's done a lot."

"You know, I'm not gonna sit here and say that I was involved just as much as she was. She's been amazing for me because, you know, getting engaged," he added.

Ghaibi is an equestrian and has had 44 starts since 2017. The couple announced their engagement in November last year after having dated since 2018.

Felix Auger-Aliassime made his feelings known after earning a spot at a Grand Slam tournament's semifinal round for the second time, with his first also at the US Open in 2021. He outdid No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev, No. 15 seed Andrey Rublev, and No. 8 seed De Minaur to reach the semifinal round. He reflected on the past four challenging years, which also saw him navigating injuries.

“It feels amazing, four years ago, it feels like more. It’s been a tough couple of years, but it feels great to be back in the semis,” said Auger-Aliassime. "Just a lot of nerves today, during the whole match. It wasn't pretty at all times. I was willing to dig really deep and do everything I can to stand here, right now," Auger-Aliassime added.
