Arthur Fils had to give his best to defeat Ignacio Buse in his debut at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. The Frenchman came back from a set down (6-7, 7-6, 7-5) and faced a break down in the third set. In a moment of anger, the Frenchman shared the impactful words from his physio: "I was upset and started talking with my team, and they told me 'it's your turn to fight, it won't be easy.' And at one point, my physio told me 'shut the f*** up,' so I got mad at him, and he repeated 'no, shut the f*** up,' and it helped because I stopped talking and refocused on tennis," the Conde de Godó champion stated in his interview with Tennis Channel.
