Arthur Fils got a background in the body in the second group of his battle with Stefanos tsisisitisi.
Consider it a awakening call.
The Frenchman used the incident as a motivation and ended up passing through Greek, 2-6 6-4 6-2, to reach the 16th round in Rome. When the pair shook hands in the net, it was time for a separation blow from the Fils. The duo argued strongly before elaborating their issues and declare “all good”.

“All well,” said Fils, who will face Alexander Zverev In the 16th round. ”We are just talking about the match. It’s not worried.
“He’s a great player, great, great, especially in clay. During the first set, he killed me. I had to find a way. I managed to break away in 4-4 with a great game, a little lucky too. But I’m very happy with the way I finished the game. It was a hard battle, and I finished hard.”
Fils becomes the second Frenchman in the series history to collect 20 Master ATP 1000 wins before you turn 21 Richard Gasquet and improve to 4-0 VS TsitsiSAs and 19-9 per season.
Two French – also currents – They are in the 16th round in Rome for the first time in nine years.
