Son explains why he decided not to play the ATP in Dubai.

After being away from the circuit for half a year, Arthur Fils has made a triumphant return, reaching the final of the ATP 500 in Doha against Carlos Alcaraz after playing three tournaments. However, alarms went off the following week when the French tennis player decided to skip the ATP Dubai, a decision he explained to the press at Indian Wells. "Everything is fine, I did it as a precaution. It has been eight long months, it would be foolish of me to go back to square one by playing in Dubai," he admitted.
