A performance that had not been achieved for nearly 20 years. At only 19 years old, Arthur Fils made short work of Casper Ruud, finalist of the last Roland-Garros, during the ATP 250 tournament in Hamburg.
A clear and flawless victory for the Frenchman. The 71st player in the world won in two sets with a score of 6-0, 6-4 against the fourth player in the world.
A feat for a French player who is the youngest tricolor to triumph in a Top 10 since Richard Gasquet in 2005. Arthur Fils will find Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals in Hamburg, who defeated another Frenchman, Luca van Assche.
