Arthur Fils exhausted after his defeat: "The schedule is tough, you have to keep going"
Arthur Fils was knocked out in the second round in Madrid against Comesana (7-6, 6-4). A surprising defeat for the Frenchman, after two consecutive quarter-finals in Monte-Carlo and Barcelona. In the post-match press conference, the world No. 14 reflected on his performance:
"I struggled a bit, even in training here, to control the ball. As the match went on, I missed more and more. All the credit goes to him. He played well, fought hard, and made me play when he needed to. I missed a lot, a lot.
Of course, if I had finished the first set quickly, it would have been different. But I let him come back a bit, and then the momentum shifted—it wasn’t the same match anymore. It happens. But I won’t dwell on it. I’ve had good weeks, I’ve played four good tournaments.
Sure, it’s a defeat, like any other defeat—it’s always annoying—but it’s not the end of the world. I’ll have to get back to training. I’m tired. The schedule is tough, you have to keep going. I’m exhausted. I’ll take two or three days to rest, then we’ll get back to training."
