Joel began his tennis career at a young age in Barcelona, his home city, and represented his country at different team and individual competitions in the under and under categories, competing in the World Junior Circuit and ending in position 17 in the world ranking.

Upon completing it, he competed for several years on the professional circuit of ATP Futures and Challengers in Europe, America and Africa, before dedication to his teaching career as a tennis coach.

After the phase with Carlos Moya, he began a new phase as Director of the Sports Technification Programme of the Balearic Government within the programme dedicated to tennis, in which athletes such as Jaume Antoni Munar and Guillermo Alcaide participated, the latter reaching position in the ATP ranking.

Still, few returns have resonated as strongly as that of the past week. However, when he took his spot in the Monte Carlo stands it was not in his old seat. Auger-Aliassime has long been hyped as a potentially defining talent of his young generation. Six years ago, he arrived on the tour in Granby, Canada as fully formed as a year-old has ever been and he became the youngest player to win an ATP Challenger main-draw match. His athleticism — driven by his tall, slender frame — was undeniable.
His serve was already vicious and he harnessed such easy power on his forehand, generated with smooth and efficient technique. As he recorded his startling early results he seemed to play within himself, with a canyon of space into which he could grow.
Even more notable than that first glimpse was how Auger-Aliassime sustained his momentum so easily.
He became a French Open junior finalist at 15, the US Open junior champion just after his 16th birthday and at that same age he marked himself as the youngest ATP Challenger winner in a decade. A sustained spring breakthrough across three surfaces culminated in a career high of 17 and as he has risen up the rankings he has demonstrated passion, drive and pleasantness. I might never beat him, but if I think that way, just need to wait, years maybe, for that chance to come.
