Arthur Fils pulls out of French Open with injury a day after back pains
- Arthur Fils, the 14th-seeded French player, withdrew from the French Open on Friday due to a lower back injury.
- He disclosed at a Saturday news briefing that an injury involving a fracture in the lower region of his back, which worsened during a grueling five-set match, led to his decision to withdraw.
- Fils, 20 years old and the last Frenchman left in the tournament, had previously battled back pain and avoided surgery by stopping now.
- He explained on Saturday that after discussing with his team, they agreed it was best to pause at this moment since stopping now would mean a break lasting only four to six weeks.
- Fils will miss at least a month of play and could miss Wimbledon, which begins June 30, reflecting a setback for French tennis hopes.
