If Jannik Sinner himself also gets involved, not getting excited about Arthur Fils before Roland-Garros will become very complicated, if not impossible. The world number 1 seems impressed by the level displayed by the best French player, winner of the ATP 500 in Barcelona, notably defeating Andrey Rublev in the final.
“He’s producing incredible tennis at the moment,” Sinner said at the Laureus Awards. He is very focused on what he has to do, very strong physically. It shows a lot of regularity on all surfaces. Winning in Barcelona will give him a lot of confidence to play well here (in Madrid), in Rome and especially in Paris with the French public. »

Exempted from the first round, Arthur Fils will enter the competition at the Masters 1000 in Madrid against an opponent who remains to be defined. The Frenchman will try to confirm his great form in order to continue his rise in the ATP rankings and be protected as much as possible during the Roland-Garros draw.
Whatever happens, Jannik Sinner now has it in his sights. “I’m happy for France. France needs players like Arthur. Let’s see what the future holds for him, but we’ll definitely have to watch out for him. » The two players could meet in the semi-final in Madrid.
