Overview

• The 20-year-old Frenchman reached the third round of his home Grand Slam for the first time this season.
• He called for a medical timeout while leading in five sets against Jaume Munar, ultimately prevailing in a marathon second-round clash.
• Munar publicly questioned the legitimacy of Fils’ injury, suggesting cramps rather than a genuine back issue.
• Fils had already withdrawn from ATP tournaments in Marseille and Doha earlier this year due to recurring injury concerns.
• Andrey Rublev advances to the Round of 16 at Roland Garros without having to play the scheduled third-round match.
