Overview
- Fils retired early in his second-round match against Italian qualifier Andrea Pellegrino after 22 minutes at 0-4, reporting sharp pain in his hip during the second game.
- He left the court for treatment at 0-3 and said the physio work did not help, so he stopped to avoid taking risks before his home Grand Slam.
- The 21-year-old confirmed the problem is a hip issue rather than a recurrence of the back injury that sidelined him for much of 2025.
- He said he will get treatment and consult his team on next steps, with the Roland Garros main draw scheduled to begin on May 24.
- The setback interrupts a strong comeback that includes a Barcelona title, a Madrid semifinal, and a current No. 4 standing in the live race to the ATP Finals.
