Fils, a stress fracture in his back puts his Wimbledon participation in doubt
The news broke on Friday afternoon. Injured during his second-round match at Roland-Garros against Jaume Munar, which he won after an intense five-set battle (7-6, 7-6, 2-6, 0-6, 6-4 in 4 hours and 25 minutes), Arthur Fils suffered a major setback during the encounter, primarily due to a back injury.
Despite pushing through, he managed to secure the win, but he will not be able to compete against Andrey Rublev in the third round. Forced to withdraw, the 20-year-old Frenchman, currently ranked 14th in the world, is expected to be sidelined for at least four to six weeks.
Indeed, he is suffering from a stress fracture in his back, as he himself announced during a press conference on Saturday morning to explain his withdrawal. As a result, his participation in Wimbledon, which begins on June 30, could be seriously compromised, reports *L’Équipe*.
Last year, Arthur Fils reached the round of 16 for the first time in his career on the London grass, before being eliminated by Alex De Minaur after a four-set battle.
