Tennis player Felix Auger-Aliassime, who shone on some of the sport's biggest stages in 2022, is the winner of the Lionel Conacher Award as The Canadian Press male athlete of the year.
Auger-Aliassime is the third tennis player in history to receive the honour — awarded annually since 1932 — after Milos Raonic (2013, 2014) and Denis Shapovalov (2017).
Decathlete Damian Warner won the award last year. The 22-year-old from Montreal started the year at No. 11 in the world rankings and closed the season at a career-high No.
6. Auger-Aliassime won his first four career ATP Tour titles this year, including three in a row during a 16-match win streak this fall in Florence, Antwerp and Basel.
