Few people saw it coming.
Faced with Taylor Fritz, ranked 7th in the world and a recent US Open finalist, Arthur Fils pulled off an immense feat by winning the first round of the ATP 500 in Tokyo (6-4, 3-6, 6-3).
Ranked 24th in the world this week, the 20-year-old Frenchman took full advantage of an American who was still breaking in.
Very aggressive in the exchange (32 winners), he regularly put his opponent a long way from the ball, forcing him to make far more errors than usual (33).
If this success is an end in itself, Fils should not rest on his laurels.
In the second round, it's Matteo Berrettini who awaits him.
Fritz, Taylor
Fils, Arthur
Berrettini, Matteo
