Fils confides: "Smiling at every game is the most important thing for my game.

Arthur Fils has big ambitions for the 2025 season. To prepare for the year ahead, the Frenchman will be taking part in the Next Gen ATP Finals for the second year running.

Last year, he reached the final but fell to Hamad Medjedovic.

Speaking to the ATP website, the world's 20th-ranked player spoke of his progress this season, which is due to the fact that he has a good feeling during matches.

"It's true that the tournament is very late this year. In fact, we're almost at the start of the 2025 season. My two ATP 500 titles were incredible.

There was the one in Hamburg (against Zverev), but the victory in Tokyo (against Humbert) was even crazier. It was a tough week, I had to play against so many great players.

I think that smiling in every match is the most important thing for my game. If I don't enjoy myself, I can't perform and play well.

I try to have fun and enjoy the moment. When I'm in that frame of mind, I know I'm going to produce good tennis," he analyzed.
