"My back is done for": The shocking revelation about Arthur Fils before Roland-Garros 2025

A confidence resurfaces: Arthur Fils was reportedly advised not to even play Roland-Garros last May. His back, already on the verge of breaking down in Miami against Zverev, had reportedly alarmed his team.

This is important information. According to journalist Bertrand Milliard, Arthur Fils reportedly received advice to withdraw from Roland-Garros. The reason? His back, which had been suffering for weeks, even months.

The issue dates back to Miami. During his round of 16 match against Alexander Zverev (3-6, 6-3, 6-4), the Frenchman allegedly uttered this phrase: "My back is done for."

A confession which, placed in the current context, takes on a completely different dimension. Because, to recall, the young French prodigy has only played two matches since his victory against Munar (7-6, 7-6, 2-6, 0-6, 6-4) in Paris last May.
