French number 1 Arthur Fils (25th in the world) continues his series of victories. After his title in Barcelona, he successfully entered the competition in Madrid, in Masters 1000. Against Ignacio Buse (58th in the world), he conceded the first set before reversing the trend and winning (6-7, 7-6, 7-5). He now faces Emilio Nava (116th in the world), who defeated Monegasque Valentin Vacherot in the previous round, in three sets, after also losing the first round (6-7, 7-6, 6-3).
At what time and on which channel to see Arthur Fils – Nava
The match between the Frenchman and the American will be broadcast on Eurosport on Sunday April 26, 2026, at 3 p.m.
A boulevard in front of Fils
After smashing his racket on the ground against Buse following the loss of the first set, Arthur Fils got back to winning in his first match in Madrid this year.
On Sunday, he will have to try to get into his match better to overcome Emilio Nava, who defeated the number 14 seed, Valentin Vacherot. In the same part of the table, Ben Shelton (No. 4) was taken out by the Croatian Dino Prizmic. At 21, the Frenchman can continue to gain ground on Spanish clay, before Roland-Garros (May 18-22).
Etcheverry or Prizmic in 8th
The winner of this round of 16 will be opposed to that of the duel between the Argentinian Etcheverry and the Croatian Prizmic. In the quarter-finals, we would surely have to face Lehecka or Musetti next. For now, winning this trap match is Arthur Fils’ only priority.
