The uncertainties and doubts return with Arthur Fils. The French player, who since his return to the courts in February after overcoming back problems that kept him out of action for eight months, became one of the most consistent and dangerous tennis players (winning the title at the Conde de Godó in Barcelona and reaching the semifinals at the Mutua Madrid Open), and is now going through the ordeal of injuries again.
It was during the Rome Masters 1000, just weeks before playing at Roland Garros, when he felt something unusual in his hip area and decided to withdraw immediately to avoid risks. However, as days went by, the sensations did not improve to the extent that he found himself unable to compete at the Parisian Grand Slam.
Arthur Fils's presence at Wimbledon 2026 remains uncertain
Nevertheless, he remained optimistic and hopeful about returning to the courts during this grass season. However, recent events do not seem to be heading in that direction. Firstly, his absence from the ATP Halle was confirmed, and with less than two weeks until the start of Wimbledon, the Frenchman has been seen training on a hard court.

It's not usual two weeks before Wimbledon.
Looks like the Frenchman won't be in London. https://t.co/8dsEK27l6f
The fact that he hasn't trained on grass yet, a surface with such technical and physical demands, seems to indicate that his presence in London is increasingly in doubt. Therefore, the hypothesis of skipping Wimbledon, considering he has no points to defend, and focusing on the North American hard-court swing is gaining strength.
It remains to be seen if in the coming days he decides to test himself on grass or chooses to concentrate all his efforts on the hard court. While his presence on the circuit is also being delayed with the start of the American swing, it might be time to sound the alarm bells.
