Arthur Fils had a tough debut against Ignacio Buse at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026, but he managed to turn the score around (6-7, 7-6, 7-5) and is now in the third round. However, at the end of his match, he went through the mixed zone at the Caja Mágica and found out about Carlos Alcaraz's absence from Rome and Roland Garros. "It's really bad news. He's a great guy, a great friend. I didn't know, it's very sad. I think we're all going to miss a great champion there. Besides, he was defending the title and is one of the best players in the history of tennis. So it's bad news, sad, but he will be back, and when he does, he will win several more titles," the Frenchman predicted.
