Arthur Fils Retires After Four Games in Rome — Italian Open Tennis 2026

Arthur Fils retired after four games at italian open tennis 2026, stopping his ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2026 match after pain in his hip surfaced in the second game. The French player now shifts immediately toward Roland Garros 2026, where he said he could not take any risks.

Fils Stops in Rome

Fils felt the problem early, then called the physio. The treatment did not work, and he exited after just four games. That left Rome as a brief stop, not a full run, and put his physical status at the center of the next decision.

“I felt a pain in the hip during the second game,” Fils said. “I called the physio, but the treatment didn't work.” He added, “I will talk to my team and we will make decisions.”

Roland Garros Plans

The withdrawal matters because Roland Garros 2026 is next in the frame for him. Fils said, “I couldn't take any risks for Roland Garros,” making the priority clear: get treatment, then sort the next step with his team before he returns to competition.

That choice also explains the tone of his statement after the match. “I will get treatment, talk to the team, we will make decisions. I just needed to avoid risks before Roland. There is no other information.”

Rome To Roland Garros

The immediate issue is simple for Fils: recover enough to protect the clay-season target that matters most to him. For now, Rome ended after four games, and the next move depends on how his hip responds to treatment.
