That’s one of the best matches I’ve ever played, said Fils following his win. I have played some great matches before, but this level was insane. I don’t grasp what to say, but very happy with the performance.

Comeback from Injury

This strong showing comes after Fils ended his 2025 season due to a back injury sustained in Toronto. He made a successful return to the Tour in Montpellier last month, followed by a final appearance in Doha and a quarter-final run at Indian Wells.

I am fully back, Fils stated. It feels like I never left. It feels very, very good.
