Son hits the ball hard, he is not Gilles Simon

After losing to Arthur Fils in the first round of the Montpellier ATP 250, Valentin Royer made some surprising statements. In order to praise his compatriot, he took a subtle dig at another former French tennis player who is well remembered by many. "Fils wasn't going to gift me the match. He's a player who gives it his all. He hits the ball hard, unlike Gilles Simon. I didn't think he would have such mental freshness, especially after not playing for six months," he concluded.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, "Fils pega fuerte a la pelota, no es Gilles Simon"
