Fils withdraws from Shanghai: End of season approaching?

Already withdrawn from Tokyo, Arthur Fils has also pulled out of the Shanghai draw. His back injury continues to be a concern, raising the question of a possible end to his season.
There will be no Asian tour for Arthur Fils.
Still troubled by his back following a stress fracture that occurred in the second round of Roland-Garros, the French number 1 will not be going to Shanghai, having already withdrawn from the Tokyo tournament where he was the defending champion.
His withdrawal from the penultimate Masters 1000 of the season was announced on Monday. He will also miss the ATP 250 in Brussels scheduled for mid-October.
It remains to be seen whether Fils will be able to appear in Paris to play in front of the French crowd or if he will have to definitively write off this 2025 season, cut short by his back injury.
