Félix Auger-Aliassime will marry his fiancée Nina Ghaibi in Marrakesh, Morocco, two weeks after the 2025 US Open.
What's happening?
The Canadian tennis star, currently ranked 27th in the world, is set to face Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the US Open on September 5.
Wedding plans
Auger-Aliassime credits Ghaibi for planning their wedding, saying she has been "amazing" and has taken care of "everything".
He jokes that his only contribution is having his suit ready, which will be provided by Dior.
Why Marrakesh?
The couple chose Marrakesh as the location for their wedding because they wanted a summer ceremony, but July was not feasible due to the heat.
Upcoming match
Auger-Aliassime will play his semifinal match against Jannik Sinner on Friday, September 5, at 7 p.m. ET.
The wedding will be attended by some of Auger-Aliassime's fellow Canadian tennis players, including Gabriel Diallo, Alexis Galarneau, and Vasek Pospisil.
Auger-Aliassime proposed to Ghaibi in November 2024 during a vacation to the Seychelles, where he prepared a "very intimate and very private" moment.
The couple has been together for six years, and Auger-Aliassime says that nothing will change for them after they get married, except for discussions about "future plans together, kids, all that".
Auger-Aliassime looks forward to the challenges that married life will bring and how they will adapt to them.
He appreciates Ghaibi's support, especially during his busy tennis schedule, and is grateful for her handling of the wedding planning.
Looking ahead
Auger-Aliassime is focused on his upcoming match against Jannik Sinner, but he is also excited to start his new life with Ghaibi.
The wedding will be a celebration of their love and commitment to each other, and Auger-Aliassime is thankful to have Ghaibi by his side.
As he prepares for his semifinal match, Auger-Aliassime is confident that he has the support of his fiancée and his team, which will help him perform at his best.
With his wedding just around the corner, Auger-Aliassime is looking forward to this new chapter in his life, both on and off the court.
