Tension moment experienced this morning at the Masters 1000 in Rome between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Arthur Fils. Right after the match point, both tennis players engaged in a heated exchange of words at the net, although we never understood what sparked it. In his post-match interview, the Frenchman explained to Tennis TV microphones what he said to the Greek at that moment.

"It was a joke, I told him at the net that he was playing incredible in the first set, he was killing me with his forehand and backhand, opening the court on the left and right. It was the truth, I couldn't do much. Then in the second set, I started to find the rhythm and how to fight. I'm happy to finish strong with the serve because, if you let him play, I believe Stefanos is one of the best clay-court players. His forehand is a powerful weapon, he is a great champion, if you don't pressure him, you're dead," commented the Frenchman.
