of 16 match at the Paris Masters.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman fell to a straight sets defeat to the American to end his campaign as his home Masters tournament and he will not turn his attention towards the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n<p>Fils has already confirmed his place at the Turin tournament, although his status looked in doubt as he appeared to struggle in his match against Fritz.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman was asked whether he was injured in his post-match press conference at the Paris Masters and he provided a blunt response.<\/p>\n<h2>More Arthur Fils news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/arthur-fils-tennis-history-atp-tour-rankings\">Arthur Fils has just achieved impressive feat that no other player has managed in tennis history<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/arthur-fils-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-claim-criticism-boris-becker-is-open\">Arthur Fils gets bold statement from Boris Becker after calling out \u2018very bad\u2019 criticism<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTough first question. No, I\u2019m not injured. He was just better than me. I didn\u2019t feel really comfortable on the court because he made me feel like that. He played, I think, a very good match. Congrats to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Taylor-Fritz\">Fritz<\/a> produced a very good performance against Fils and the Frenchman was understandably frustrated that he was given little opportunities to shine in front of his home crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very, very complicated, but after all, it\u2019s indoors, so I felt at one point or another, I could have an opportunity. But overall, it\u2019s not that I played badly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just that he played better. He served better, returned better. In the final analysis, it\u2019s two breaks. Not much to say, really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fils was left rueing crucial errors in the match and he will head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP<\/a> Finals looking to make several improvements for the year-end event.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there were a number of points where I was too defensive, but it\u2019s a hard court that is extremely fast. We\u2019re not used to playing that fast anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could have returned better the second ball, as you said. I could have used my forehand better. Now it\u2019s a bit early. I have to talk to my team. We haven\u2019t debriefed yet, so I have to talk to them to see what parts there are for improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his round of 16 exit at the Paris Masters, Fils has enjoyed another good season on the ATP Tour, in which he has proved he has all the tools to become one of the very best players in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman claimed his maiden Masters title at the Cincinnati Open and he also won the Barcelona Open.<\/p>\n<p>The only disappointing aspect of Fils\u2019 season came at Grand Slam level. He did not play the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/australian-open\">Australian Open<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/roland-garros\">Roland Garros<\/a> and he reached the second round of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> and was knocked out in the first round of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arthur Fils offers injury update after appearing to struggle against Taylor Fritz in Paris Liam McMillen 06 Nov 2026 12:00 PM Arthur Fils during his match against Taylor Fritz at the 2026 Paris Masters.
