Tsitsipas at the 2026 Miami Open as the best performance of his career and declared that he is \u201cfully back\u201d to his best.<\/p>\n<p>The world No 31 dismantled 51st-ranked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/stefanos-tsitsipas\">Tsitsipas<\/a> 6-0, 6-1 in just 55 minutes on Sunday night in the third round of the Masters 1000 tournament in Florida.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/arthur-fils\">Fils<\/a> won 53 of the 77 points played in the match as he broke in six of Tsitsipas\u2019 seven service games and lost only six points on his own serve.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman recorded 11 winners to eight unforced errors, while Tsitsipas finished with an abject ratio of four winners to 28 unforced errors.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old now holds a\u00a05-0 record against Tsitsipas, who is a former world No 3 and two-time Grand Slam runner-up.<\/p>\n<p>Fils reached his career-high ranking of world No 14 in April last year, but he played just two matches after the French Open in May due to a serious back injury.<\/p>\n<p>Since returning to the tour in February, Fils has been impressive, having amassed an 11-4 record (73.3%) across tournaments in Montpellier, Rotterdam, Doha, Indian Wells and Miami.<\/p>\n<h2>Miami Open News<\/h2>\n<p><a

That was the best match I ever played, I think, in my life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI played some great matches before, but this level was insane, man. I don\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I\u2019m very happy with the performance. Hopefully I can keep this level until the end of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked\u00a0what specifically was so good about his performance, Fils said:\u00a0\u201cYou know what, I would not say my serve, because I didn\u2019t serve that good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think all the game: the forehand, the backhand, the speed and the movement on the court \u2014 I was moving pretty good. So yeah, pretty happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he would say he is now \u201cfully back\u201d following his injury-enforced absence, Fils replied: \u201cOh man, I\u2019m fully back. It\u2019s like I never left (smiles). It feels very, very good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fils will play world No 25 Valentin Vacherot in the last 16 in Miami on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-shock-miami-open-loss-sebastian-korda-justine-henin\">Carlos Alcaraz \u2018will benefit\u2019 from shock Miami Open loss as tennis icon issues \u2018simply human\u2019 verdict<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arthur Fils makes \u2018fully back\u2019 statement after destroying Stefanos Tsitsipas at Miami Open Ewan West 23 Mar 2026 1:00 PM Arthur Fils celebrates his win Arthur Fils rated his demolition of Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2026 Miami Open as the best performance of his career and declared that he is \u201cfully back\u201d to his best.
